 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 |

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 |

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 Wonderful World of Furniture |
Kalkbrænderiløbskaj 2 Copenhagen 2100 Denmark +45 39 16 6565 http://www.paustian.dk |
This is a sales and exhibition building for expensive, quality Paustian furniture. The building opened in 1987, created by Jørgen Utzon and his two sons Kim and Jan. The interior was created by Lin Utzon. The Paustian building was inspired by the typical Danish beech forest with its tall, slim trunks. What lies inside the building is just as exciting; the finest furniture designs, from classics by designers Aalto, Eames and Le Corbusier. The prices are high, but there are relatively good offers too. Paustian also has an attached restaurant, lovely but very expensive. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Little Mermaid |
Langelinie Copenhagen 1263 Denmark |
Copenhagen's most famous tourist attraction, the Little Mermaid sits on a rock overlooking the harbour. Created by Edward Eriksen in 1913 who was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale. The model for the Mermaid was dancer Ellen Price. The statue's head was stolen in 1964 and although police hunted for several years, neither the perpetrator nor the head were found. The head has been replaced by a replica but jokers still occasionally try to saw it off. Review © 2007, Wcities |
