Tours
You can't visit Copenhagen and
not
take a canal boat trip. Not only is it a fantastic way to
see the city, but you see a side of it landlubbers never see. There are two outfits that operate
guided canal tours during summer - Canal Tours Copenhagen and Netto-Bådene. Be aware
that, in most boats, you are totally exposed to the elements (which can be quite elemental in
Copenhagen harbour, even during summer). Both operators offer tours in covered, heated
boats from October to March.
