Copenhagen is an old harbour and maritime city, and one of the most beautiful and enjoyable ways to see it is from a boat sailing down its charming canals. Take a traditional canal tour boat, a romantic gondola, be the captain of your own solar energy-driven boat, be adventurous in a kayak, or go fishing. The possibilities on the water are endless.
