Itinerary
Memorial Anchor
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeNyhavn was initially a busy port. The canal was filled with ships and lined with pubs for sailors and ladies of pleasure to enjoy. King Christian V established the area as a gateway to the inner city, and at that time, the canal stretched all the way up to Kongens Nytorv.Nyhavn 20
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeSomeone who used to live in Nyhavn was Hans Christian Andersen. In house No. 20, he wrote the famous fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea". During his lifetime, he also lived in No. 67 and No. 18.Inderhavnsbroen
5 minsAdmission Ticket FreeInderhavnsbroen—the Inner Harbor Bridge—is a 180-meter-long bridge that stretches between Harbor Street in Nyhavn and the North Atlantic House/Greenland Trade Area. It was built to facilitate pedestrians' and cyclists' travel from the city centre to the islands that make up Christianshavn. From the bridge, you have a fantastic view of Copenhagen Harbour.North Atlantic House
5 minsAdmission Ticket FreeNorth Atlantic House or Nordatlantens Brygge is a cultural centre located on the harbour front of Copenhagen. It is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and communicating culture and art from the North Atlantic area. It is a cooperation between Denmark, Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands and includes three galleries and conference facilities.Strandgade
5 minsAdmission Ticket FreeStrandgade translates to "Beach Street" and is one of the main streets of Christianshavn. It runs along the neighbourhood, following the harbourfront, from Christian's Church in the southwest to Grønlandske Handels Plads in the north. We'll walk along parts of the canal and learn about the history of Christianshavn.Sankt Annæ Gade
5 minsAdmission Ticket FreeSankt Annæ Gade is one of the oldest streets in Christianshavn. It is named after Saint Anne, a patron saint of seamen, and connects the main harbourfront to the Christianshavn Rampart.Our Saviour's Church
5 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedChurch of Our Saviour (Vor Frelsers Kirke) is a baroque church, most famous for its helix spire with an external winding staircase that can be climbed to the top, offering extensive views over central Copenhagen. It is also noted for its carillon, which is the largest in northern Europe and plays melodies every hour from 8 am to midnight. Christianshavn was intended to be an independent merchant's town, so a church was needed.Christiania
15 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedChristiania was "stolen" from a military area in 1971 and has been a source of controversy since. As the military moved out of the existing buildings, homeless hippies moved right in. Initially, the takeover was not necessarily organised; however, some claim that the "takeover" came about as a protest against the Danish government, as Copenhagen lacked affordable housing at the time. We end the tour outside the entrance to Christiania as we are not allowed to guide inside. Christiania have their guides.
