Hop aboard a canal boat for a leisurely cruise around the harbour, passing the iconic Little Mermaid statue known the world over. Glide past the Opera House before reaching the intriguing Black Diamond building, or Royal Library, named after the colour of the granite imported from Zimbabwe for its construction.
Have your camera ready for the enormous Danish Parliament and the Old Stock Exchange, built in the 4th century, before you disembark at Christianshavn for a guided walk. Soak up the sights of this hip and diverse area, once a privileged merchant town and now a hotbed of trendy businesses and residences, all with a distinct nautical atmosphere.
Your enthralling journey continues with a panoramic drive taking in King’s Square, the Royal Theatre and the colourful Nyhavn district. There’s also time for a photo stop at the stunning Amalienborg Palace – residence of the Queen.
