Discover Copenhagen’s harbor transformation on the city’s only architecture cruise.

Join the Danish Architecture Center to discover Copenhagen’s harbor transformation on the city’s only architecture cruise. To glide along the harbor today, it’s hard to comprehend that just a few decades ago, Copenhagen’s waterway was choking with industrial sites. Where cargo ships, warehouses, and polluted water could once be found – today the harbor has been transformed with swimmers, pleasure boats, and innovative sustainable architecture.
