Nordhavn: Riding the City of Tomorrow

The city of the future - silos, waterfront and harbour swims.

Sights & culture Food & drink Your route, stop by stop

Roll into Copenhagen's tomorrow. Nordhavn is a whole new district built on the old container port: the walkable Arhusgade grid, the swim decks at Sandkaj, the glass-topped Portland Towers, the elevated metro out at Orientkaj and sharp architecture in every direction. Cardamom buns, specialty coffee and a poke bowl on the boardwalk fuel the loop.
