Trekroner Fortresses travel tips and stories. Vacations ideas, cruises, spa and resorts

You will need to have your sea legs about you if you fancy a meal at Restaurant Flakfortet and on the other artificial island: Middelgrunden. You sail with a Spar Shipping ferry from Nyhavn. Indoors are rooms with vaulted ceilings, candlelight and fine paintings, outdoors a pavilion with room for 350. Grill buffets and traditional lunch menus. Trekroner is reachable with the barge-like Canal Tour boats that have a hop-on-hop-off service all summer long (May-Sept). On Trekroner is also a restaurant in one of the old military buildings.

And if you are wondering how you are going to get to see all these fantastic venues, don’t worry. You are never short of a ride on Copenhagen‘s waterways with two sightseeing boat companies operating annually from the end of March until the end of October, as well as the yellow hop-on, hop-off Havnebus (harbour bus) service, a hop-on, hop-off Vandbus (water bus) and an imminent harbour taxi service, all competing for your fare. Failing that, you could always rent a boat from Christianshavn’s Badudlejning (boat rental) and row your own way round the waterways of Copenhagen.
