What To Expect
Nyhavn
Our walking tour begins in Nyhavn, Copenhagen’s most iconic and colorful waterfront district. Once a bustling hub for sailors, merchants, and lively taverns, Nyhavn is now a favorite spot for both locals and visitors, with its charming rows of brightly painted townhouses and historic wooden ships docked along the canal. Here, we’ll take a moment to soak in the lively atmosphere and admire the blend of history and modern life. Did you know this was once home to Hans Christian Andersen? He lived in several houses here while penning some of his most famous fairytales. As we start our tour, let Nyhavn’s picturesque setting and rich stories welcome you to the heart of Copenhagen. From here, we’ll head towards Christianshavn and explore more of the city’s hidden gems.
Inderhavnsbroen
Known as "The Kissing Bridge," this modern architectural marvel connects historic Nyhavn with Christianshavn. Officially opened in 2016, the bridge’s sliding mechanism allows boats to pass while creating the illusion of a kiss. Designed to blend with Copenhagen’s historic waterfront, it symbolizes the city’s commitment to sustainable urban living. From here, enjoy panoramic views of iconic landmarks like Nyhavn, the Opera House and the Paper island. It’s a testament to Copenhagen’s ability to merge innovation with history.
