Views from the canal boat It is highly recommended since it offers views of Copenhagen's canals, the harbour and famous monuments like the Little Mermaid, historic ships and the temoporary sand sculptures. It goes through different districts like Nyhavn, Christianshavn, Osterbro, Slodsholmen and the Old Town and it also offers unique views and a guided tour of architectural sights like the new Opera house, the spiral top of Vor Frelsers Kirke, other churches, Maersk HQ, the Black Diamond library, Amalienborg Royal Castle and Christiansborg Castle. |
