 The Harbour of Copenhagen |
Nordre Toldbod 7 Copenhagen Denmark +45 3347 9999 |
The best way to see the harbour is by going on one of the Canal Tours. On these trips the tourist is presented with many sights that are located along the Copenhagen waterfront. Admire the castles including Christiansborg and Amalienborg, charming old areas like Nyhavn and Christianshavn, churches such as Holmens Kirke and Marmorkirken, and modern buildings like the headquarters of A. P. Møller or the Black Diamond. The harbour of Copenhagen stretches from Nordhavn and Frihavnen deep into the heart of the city. From as far back as the 1930s, the harbour has been strongly criticized. However, with newer initiatives, like the new building work at Frihavnen, the harbour is becoming a recreational area for the people of Copenhagen. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sculpture From Nordic Mythology |
Churchillparken Copenhagen 1263 Denmark |
The Gefion Fountain is in Churchillparken, at the end of Amaliegade. From the fountain, you have a magnificent view down to the square at Amalienborg. The sculpture is situated next to the lovely natural area of Kastellet. The huge, dynamic sculpture, revealed in 1908, was created by Anders Bundgård. In this sculpture it is Gefion, the energetic Norse goddess, who swings her whip over her sons. The backs of the oxen swell under the strain and water sprays up from behind the wheels and the plough. The water coming out of the nostrils of the oxen emphasises the dramatic action and the power and strength the oxen put into their work. Review © 2007, Wcities |
