About this tour
This session follows Christianshavn's canals from the towpath, showing houseboats and old naval buildings along the water. You see the canal's calm stretches and a building tied to the district's naval origins. Oliver explains why Christianshavn was built where it was.
The walk covers two points along the water at an easy pace, timed for calm conditions where possible. Oliver answers questions about the canals and the naval history.
This suits anyone wanting a quiet, scenic session. It works well alongside his planning call for the wider district.
