Inderhavnsbroen

Inderhavnsbroen is a 180-metre pedestrian and bicycle bridge across Copenhagen’s Inner Harbour, linking Nyhavn with Christianshavn and Holmen at 1401 København. Designed by the English engineering firm Flint & Neill with Studio Bednarski and Hardesty & Hanover, it opened to the public on 7 July 2016. Its two movable sections slide apart for passing ships and meet in the centre when closed, giving it the local nickname “the Kissing Bridge.” The crossing provides views toward Nyhavn’s historic waterfront, the Royal Danish Playhouse, Copenhagen Opera House and harbour traffic, while also forming a key link in the city’s Harbour Circle walking and cycling route. It is a public bridge accessible around the clock, although brief closures occur when the spans open for larger boats; early morning or evening offers the quietest crossing and the clearest reflections on the water.
