Sure they do. Not at all times as it’s not the cleanest water, but depends on you and the weather. It’s generally not recommended after heavy rains as you risk having some sewage water having been mixed with the water in the harbor
Not in the CBD, but yea
Extremely popular too. Primarily in the summer, but there are winter bathing areas too.
Yes. Some even in December.
Yes in certain areas, they are controlling the quality of the water to make sure it’s safe to swim. They’re called havnebade. ‘Harbor baths’. https://svoemkbh.kk.dk/havnebade
Yes, and it is amazing. I feel like this caused a small transformation of the city when it was made possible
Det kan man 🙂 (Which is a confirmation sentence, as a response to the sentence in the picture, simply affirming what is being said)
You can also swap “Man” and “Kan” in your image, and add a question mark at the end, making it a valid question.
Ofc you can swim in the Harbor, tho I think most people would agree that it is ill adviced to do so.
yup, lots of harbour-swimming in Danish Harbours
I’ve seen folks do it in Nordhavn regularly
One of the best swims I’ve had, actually 👌
*harbour
/s twas a joke to take a stab at our American brotherfolks differences from the English.
Yes, poor people do it a lot.
I have seen them so it from my private helicopter when I’m going to and from meetings in the city.
Personally I prefer to do it in my private pool or on the beach on my private island.
Happy holidays.

Oh yeah. Turns out when you force companies to stop polluting you can enjoy the world around you!
Even saw people swimming during the Nyhvan canal tour just days ago (beware people the very first tour place is 100 DKK higher, figured that while sailing with that tour and seeing the other banner unfortunately)
They actually do, seriously, they don’t have better thing to do.
I like to kayak in the harbor and the canals.
Absolutely
Yes, it’s incredibly pleasant. Copenhagen’s water is mostly Baltic, so the salinity is more like a lake than the sea, and it’s a great temperature for swimming much of the year. It’s so clean and clear! This was a big change for me coming from the UK.
Sure
I wouldn’t go swimming near the quays that are in frequent use, like diving in with the ferry to Norway. Not a great idea. There are dedicated areas for swimming, mostly in the ‘inner harbour’ area between Zealand and the big island Amager where parts of Copenhagen is located. Areas no longer in use commercially or for leisureboats, so basically both safe and free from waste and pollution.
Harbor might be the wrong translation of that type of harbor though.
It’s more like a nice urban waterfront, and less like a freight harbour.
Not when there is ice on it. Walking is then much more easy.
