Stromma Canal Tours

Stromma Canal Tours at Nyhavn 3 is a boat sightseeing departure point, not a museum or monument, where Stromma runs the Classic Canal Tour and seasonal cruises such as Christmas Jazz and Copenhagen Light Festival trips. The classic canal tour is Stromma’s original route dating back to 1904, and it is usually guided in Danish and English, with audio guides available on some departures. It sits right on Nyhavn’s harborfront, beside the colorful canal houses in one of Copenhagen’s most recognizable waterfront areas, and the route passes landmarks like the Little Mermaid, Amalienborg Palace, Christiansborg Palace, the Opera House, and the Black Diamond. What makes it stand out is the chance to see central Copenhagen from the water in about an hour, with departures all year and heated, covered boats in winter. For practical planning, Nyhavn is one of the main departure points, and tickets should be checked in advance because some Copenhagen Card coverage applies only to the Ved Stranden departure, not the Nyhavn one.
