 Journey Along the Waters |
Nyhavn 2 (Ticket Office) Copenhagen 1051 Denmark +45 (0)32 96 3000 http://www.canaltours.dk/ |
Armed with a strong fleet of 16 comfortable boats, five of which are heated and covered, the DFDS takes you through a guided journey along the city's harbor and canal. At least one of the multilingual staff members is always onboard, enlightening guests on the picturesque surroundings. Choose from the various tours available. And for something unusual, go for the Dinner Cruise, where you can enjoy a delectable meal as you cruise along the waters. And if you have charted your own itinerary, then just go ahead and rent one of their boats. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Part of the Harbour of Copenhagen |
Langelinievej Copenhagen 2100 Denmark |
Frihavnen forms the outer part of the Copenhagen Harbour. Way back, the biggest ships docked in at Frihavnen before setting out on long voyages to Port Said and the East. After having finished the day's work, men living in Copenhagen went to Frihavnen on their bikes in order to take part in the adventure, maybe catch a hawser and tie it to a bollard. Today Frihavnen has become a fashionable area, with cafés and expensive shops. Now it is mostly cruisers and a few war ships that dock at Frihavnen. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Public Transport in Copenhagen Harbour |
Nordre Toldbod og Det Kongelige Bibliotek Copenhagen 1259 Denmark |
Havnebussen is an alternative to the yellow public buses, which often run late on the busy streets of Copenhagen. The harbour is not heavy with traffic, and because of that a route has been created that crosses down through Copenhagen Harbour, from shore to shore. Havnebussen is comfortable and the sights from it are often fantastic. It shouldn't be used as tourist transport at very busy times, though, as it functions as a means of transport for a lot of busy Copenhagen commuters. The end stations are Nordre Toldbod and the newly-built Royal Library, and on its way, the boat passes Holmen and Nyhavn. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fun With a Kayak |
Fabrikmestervej, vej 13 til venstre, Holmen Copenhagen Denmark +45 4050 4006 http://www.kajakole.dk |
With Holmen (the former marine area of Copenhagen, now a trend-setting place) as a base, a man called Ole has established a form of sightseeing and entertainment using kayaks. You can take a guided tour around Copenhagen Harbour by kayak, where you get to see all the old monuments and the new, exciting attractions. This is a fun and alternative way of experiencing Copenhagen, and from here, the city shows its most beautiful side. You can take the trip in the evening too, wearing forehead flashlights. These trips start in the centre, close to Thorvaldsens Museum. Another possibility is kayak polo, a newly-invented sport. This takes place in the harbour basin of Holmen and is meant for parties of between six and fifteen people. The prices vary but are quite high. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Copenhagen's Most Beautiful Area |
Fra Esplanaden til Langeliniekajen Copenhagen 2100 Denmark |
This area could be described as the most beautiful in Copenhagen, and stretches from Esplanaden to Lystbådehavnen, the pier of Langelinie and Frihavnen. If you walk along the outer harbour of Copenhagen, you will be able to enjoy a breath of fresh air from Øresund. You will also pass Churchillparken with its English church, Frihedsmuseet (a landmark to World War II), the Gefion Fountain, the statues of Frederik IX and Princess Marie, Langeliniepavillionen restaurant, the Little Mermaid, and the Mylius-Erichsen Monument (to the people who died during the Greenland expedition 1906-07). Last but not least, is Frihavnen, with its warships and huge cruise liners, and recently a new housing and business district. From Langelinie you can see over to Holmen, where the yacht of the Royal Danish family, Dannebrog, usually lies anchored. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The City of Many Opportunities |
Roskilde Inlet Roskilde Copenhagen 4000 Denmark +45 4631 6565 (Tourist Information) http://www.destination-roskild... |
In the Middle Ages, Roskilde was a trading town, and in the Viking period it had been a centre for ship-building. The city is beautifully located at the end of Roskilde Inlet, 30km west of Copenhagen. It is easy to reach by both train and car. Roskilde offers a wide selection of interesting attractions for visitors, primarily the exciting Viking Ship Museum. Located just by the inlet, this museum's collection is based on archaeological finds of Viking ships in that particular area. Roskilde Cathedral, located at the highest point of the city, is also interesting and beautiful. Here, Danish kings and queens have been buried for the last 800 years. The Cathedral also shows the changes that have taken place in architectural styles in that time. The old ferry Sagafjord is famous for serving delicious meals while you enjoy the views over the inlet. The main street should also be mentioned, with its preserved old town houses and the lovely park. In general, the city offers lots of experiences and sights to see. Not far south of the city you will find Lejre Forsøgscenter and Ledreborg Slot. Review © 2007, Wcities |
