Lazy days at the city beach
Big city living in July and August? Until recently it still felt like a punishment, especially if you were forced to stay in one of the inland capitals or a large city far from the sea. Paris, Prague, Berlin and Madrid were real killers, and I remember getting a high fever in London because I couldn’t get rid of the day’s heat fast enough.
Those days are over. Now, urban beaches have popped up all over Europe and made summertime survivable for citydwellers who can’t or won’t leave home for cooler climes. They’ve even proven attractive for tourists, who can now pause between visits to overheated museums and veg out in a downtown deck chair (or play beach volleyball in a closed crossroads.)
For the next two weeks Momondo’s bloggers will guide you to the best city beaches, taking you through streetside pools and along the urban riverfronts where palm trees and tons of sand have been trucked in to create just the right atmosphere. So authentic are these big city beaches that sea gulls now perch on Paris streetlamps! Enjoy!

"By gathering relevant travel information and cheap tickets on one page, we are taking a step in the direction of becoming a preferred travel portal for the Danish public,” says Henrik Peter Jørgensen, Director of Communications, Copenhagen Airports.
