Waterfront architecture by boat
Spend an afternoon on small boats and learn about world-class contemporary architecture presented by a local architect.
Enjoy this unique opportunity to sail the Copenhagen harbour in electrical, self-controlled boats and learn about the transition from a polluted, industrial harbour to highly liveable neighbourhoods, downtown culture and leisure areas, and modern business districts.
With frequent informational stops and time to enjoy the ride, chat and eat a picnic on board with a cold local brew.
This is for everyone!
