Are you also tired of looking for the perfect first date? It can, at times, be very frustrating, which is why we have gathered some first-date ideas that we really enjoy.

Firstly, we have Camping Kødbyen, a minigolf bar. This is a great place for talking whilst participating in an activity and maybe enjoying a couple of drinks ;) You cannot reserve a spot, so make sure to be there earlier or be ready to wait a bit.
