The canals

Like calm oases in the bustling city, the old canals are picturesque spots to go and soak up the maritime and historic vibes you’ll meet in Copenhagen. Sit down by the quay for a while among 1700th century coloured houses, berthed boats and occasionally a kayak sailing by. Not only idyllic and beautiful, the canals in the city centre and the Christianshavn district bear witness to Denmark’s history as a seafaring nation and Copenhagen as a historic harbour city.
