About this tour
This session walks a stretch of Copenhagen's newer harbourfront, away from the historic centre. You see piers built on former industrial land and a row of newer waterfront housing. Bettina explains how the harbour has changed over the past two decades.
The walk covers two points along the water at an easy pace. Bettina answers questions about the redevelopment as we go.
This suits anyone interested in urban change or a quieter harbour walk. It pairs well with her Little Mermaid session closer to the centre.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way

Not included
