Bridges and canals abound in Copenhagen, and what better way to see them than by water? On a 45-minute canalboat tour of the Frederiksholms and Christianshavn canals, pass under a total of 14 bridges, each one with a unique tale. Have your camera ready for the 18th-century Marble Bridge, and hear fun facts about the so-called ‘green’ city, its people and its history as you cruise.
Step aboard your canalboat at Nyhavn, and take a seat as you glide away from the pier and along the canals of Frederiksholms and trendy Christianshavn — the area founded by King Christian IV in the early 17th century. The theme of your tour is Copenhagen and its bridges, so sit back and enjoy historical tales from your guide as you cruise.
Learn how the city bridges are viewed as essential for uniting districts, history and, of course, its people. With a reputation as a green city, Copenhagen is home to a community of avid walkers and cyclists — all of whom rely on the bridges to travel each day.
Pass under a total of 14 bridges, from Marble Bridge — built in 1745 — to the new cycling-friendly bridges of Nyhavn. Highlights include Børnehusbroen, which connects two different parts of Christianshavn, and Højbro, an impressive steel walkway that joins Christiansborg Palace with the city center.
After 45 minutes out on the water, cruise back to the start point and step onto dry land to finish your tour.
