The experience
A one-hour guided canal cruise from Gammel Strand past Nyhavn, the Little Mermaid and the Opera House.
The boat departs from Gammel Strand and follows Copenhagen’s harbour and canals past Nyhavn’s coloured townhouses, Christiansborg Palace, the modern Opera House and Playhouse, and the Little Mermaid statue, with live guiding throughout.
As one of the city’s most consistently booked activities, the route stays close to the water’s edge for a low, ground-level view of landmarks that are otherwise seen only from a distance on foot.
