Copenhagen Harbour
Today the Copenhagen Harbour is in the middle of a transformation from an industrial port and traffic junction to being the cultural and social centre of the city. During your stroll in the Copenhagen Harbour you will come across the Harbour Bath, which extends the adjacent park over the water by incorporating the practical needs and demands for accessibility, safety and programmatic flexibility.
The Harbour Bath also offers an urban harbour landscape with dry-docks, piers, boat ramps, cliffs, playgrounds and pontoons. As a terraced landscape, the Harbour Bath completes the transition from land to water, making it possible for the citizens of Copenhagen to go for a swim in the middle of the city.
But if you want to enjoy the whole harbour you may get a better view from the water. Why not go on board one of the yellow harbour buses or on a sightseeing boat through the canals? On land the City Bikes are free of charge and a fine way to get about the city and discover interesting places and things off the beaten track – but only within the city ramparts.
There are several possibilities for eating with water below the hull. Visitors can find a few ideas of where to go, but do also look around the canal areas of Christianshavn and Holmen.
