Hey Captain boat sailing in Christianshavn, Copenhagen

Add to my trip

Made up of a group of small islands, the neighbourhood is a real charmer, and ideal to explore by bike, on foot along the quays or even from the waterside. The group of small islands that make up this area, is perhaps mostly known for Freetown Christiania, but is worth visiting for many other reasons too.

If you're feeling hungry after a day of epxploring, you should check out this guide on where to eat in Christianshavn.
