Canal tours

See the city from a new angle

Word to the wise: A kayak tour of the harbour and canals is also available - see www.urbanadventures.com for details.
We don't often recommend guided city tours, but if your time in Copenhagen is short a canal cruise is an excellent way to get your bearings in the city. It's also a rather pleasant jaunt - in fact, many Danes take the time to make an annual trip, so fond they are of the experience.

The Grand Tour begins and ends at either Gammel Strand or Nyhavn - the latter being the most popular - and takes in many of the city's sights including Christianshavn, the Opera House, the Little Mermaid, and Amalienborg Palace. The commentary is in both Danish and English. There's also a 24 hour hop-on, hop-off waterbus option, for those who want more independence, and jazz and dinner cruises.
