Thermal baths in Copenhagen
Also spelled København
Copenhagen sits on the islands of Zealand and Amager on the Øresund, the strait between Denmark and Sweden. Both saunas on this page are on Refshaleøen, at the northern end of the harbour, one in a garden of hot tubs and one on a cafe's dock. Reffen, a street-food market built from shipping containers by the water, is about 1 km away on the same island.
