Copenhagen for The Slow Weekenders: a Friday-to-Monday weekend

The quietest quarter, houseboats and leaning warehouses along the water; walk one bank and back over the wooden bridges, then sit.

Wood-fired hot tubs and a sauna on the harbour's edge, booked by the hour, with a plunge into the sea between; the city lights across the water.

An 1854 harbour tavern by Kastellet with oil lamps, fried herring, and a name that means the treacherous bay; take the early table and the early night.

A bright breakfast room with a short menu of eggs, toast and good coffee, a few steps from the King's Garden. Order slowly and stay until you stop.

The brewer's collection of Rodin and Gauguin round a winter garden of palms; the one sight today, with coffee under the glass dome afterwards.

A Nordic room of pale wood and candles where the set menu comes slowly and the kitchen never hurries; an early dinner and a walk back.

A 1934 public bath with mosaic halls, a spa floor of saunas and a warm pool; a Sunday morning ticket and nowhere else to be.

A Frederiksberg brasserie with a Sunday lunch that runs to the afternoon, moules, a glass of white and the newspapers.

The romantic park below the yellow palace, with canals, a Chinese pavilion and benches for the last of the light; the elephants are behind the zoo fence.

The 1874 palm house and the lakeside garden, free and near empty on a Monday morning; the spiral stairs inside the glass are the warmest spot.

An Islamic art collection in a merchant's townhouse, free, dim and silent, with miniatures and carpets you can stand in front of for ten minutes.

A coffeehouse on Amagertorv beside the Stork Fountain, a sandwich and a slow coffee at the window before the airport metro.
