The inner Harbour of Copenhagen is unique in beauty and function. The harbour is situated in the middle of Copenhagen between Holmen, Christianshavn, Island Amager and Copenhagen City.
2 new bridges are opened and 1 is under construction to unite and connect Copenhagen City with Nyhavn, Kgs. Nytorv, Amalienborg Castle with Christianshavn, Holmen with Copenhagen Opera House and Island Amager.
On this homepage danculture.dk I have written an article about the 3 above new bridges and the poetic atmosphere in Christianshavn (You find the article on subject “Miljø”):
