Discover Copenhagen Boat Tour

The Experience

Discover Copenhagen from the water, the way it’s meant to be seen.

They say Copenhagen was designed to be admired from the water and once you're on board, you’ll understand why. On a comfortable 12-person boat, you'll sail with a local captain along the city’s iconic waterfront and winding canals, while enjoying a relaxed and engaging conversation about the city's rich history. 

You depart from the stylish and recently renovated Ofelia Plads, right next to the Royal Danish Playhouse, a place with history, once known as the departure point for the ferry to Oslo. Soon after, you glide past the Royal Palace, where you might just catch a glimpse of the Queen or Royal Family if the flag is flying. 

As you enter the historic canals of the old city, you’ll get a unique look into life on a houseboat and see numerous buildings from the 17th century, many of them built during the reign of King Christian IV, who left a lasting mark on the city. 

The tour ends at the enchanting Circle Bridge by Olafur Eliasson, an architectural artwork designed to make even the busiest cyclist slow down and enjoy the stunning view of the Black Diamond, the Royal Library.
