Narrow waterways, bridges, rippling water against houseboats. Are we in Amsterdam or Copenhagen? On our Cultural Christianshavn Private Walking Tour, discover the vibrantly cultural maritime area of Christianshavn.
The story about the tour
Gaze down the canal of Nyhavn, out into the bustling waters of Copenhagen’s harbour. Appearing to rise out of the water in the distance, you spot a newly developed residential complex. Poking up behind it are crooked houses full of character. We hop across the harbour over the “Kissing Bridge” to have a closer look (mind the bikes zooming by, this is Copenhagen!). We’ve now arrived in a new inner-city district, Christianshavn. So let our exploration of Cultural Christianshavn begin!
Christianshavn has a fascinating history and is a place of visual arts, alternative lifestyle (can you guess in which area?) and harbourside hangouts. Have we hooked you yet? How about an old prison and maritime history? This district is a mix of historical and modern, creative and revolutionary, together making for a vibrantly cultural area of Copenhagen.
We turn the corner and… Wait, have we popped over to Amsterdam?! No, we’re still in Copenhagen, walking along the lovely canals of Christianshavn. Hear the water rippling against the houseboats that line the narrow waterways. Walking down quiet streets and over bridges, don’t forget to look up and appreciate the beautiful architecture around you. Soon enough, you’ll be looking up at the Church of Our Saviour, with its famous spiral tower, and be met with a display of colour at the gates to the Freetown of Christiania.
We’ll end our Cultural Christianshavn Private Walking Tour here, at the gates, with the story of Christiania. After being enlightened by the tale of Christiania, you’re free to go inside to explore on your own. Cultural, creative and crafty, this is Christianshavn!

Happy Nobel Day! 💡 As Nobel Week was cancelled in 2020, Nobel lectures, prizes and banquets were replaced with Nobel Week Lights - light installations inspired by Nobel Prize-awarded findings and laureates. As the festivities are now back, we sure hope that we are so lucky that the artwork brightening up the city during the darkest month of the year; is a December tradition that has come to stay. 💫
🇸🇪
Nobeldagen är här! 💡 Nobelveckan blev inställd 2020, och istället för Nobelföreläsningar, prisutdelning och bankett genomfördes Nobel Week Lights som är ljusinstallationer inspirerade av Nobelpris på olika platser i Stockholm. Det blev så uppskattat att det genomförs i år igen trots att Nobelveckan är återinförd. Har vi tur så är det en decembertradition som kommit för att stanna. 💫

It’s a contested issue amongst numerous Baltic connected countries as to who invented the Ice-skate. Was it the Finns or the Dutch? All of this is irrelevant because the best city to ice-skate in is Stockholm. If you want to show off your Quadruple Axel in front of the masses, the ice-rink in Kungsträdgården is the perfect location. ✨⛸️✨

Don`t let its controversy cloud your curiosity as Christianshavns characteristic slanting roofs and canals, as well as the tremendous Church of Our Saviour, are well worth seeing. Not to forget the Færgecafé or Café Parterre who are both worth visiting.
