Inderhavnsbroen

Nicknamed “The Kissing Bridge,” this contemporary structure links the old harbour of Nyhavn with the canals of Christianshavn. Opened in 2016, the bridge slides open to let boats pass, creating a gentle, kiss like motion that inspired its name. Built to complement Copenhagen’s historic waterfront, it reflects the city’s focus on smart and sustainable design. From this spot, you get sweeping views of Nyhavn, the Opera House and Paper Island, showing how Copenhagen blends modern innovation with centuries of history.
