Overview
A low canal boat leaves the Nyhavn canal for the harbour, passes in front of the Opera House and turns at the Little Mermaid statue on Langelinie. On the way back come the waterfront of Amalienborg Palace, Christianshavn canal and the spiral spire of the Church of Our Saviour (Vor Frelsers Kirke). The boat then follows the canals around the Royal Library's Black Diamond and Christiansborg Palace back to Nyhavn. The tour lasts about an hour with no landings. Some canal bridges are low, and standing may be prohibited.
