✅ Visitor Info: Accessibility
Access: The Harbour Bus is equipped with a manual wheelchair ramp. Boarding areas and piers are generally paved and flat, making them suitable for wheelchairs and walkers. Because the ramp is manual, assistance is needed when boarding to help get wheelchairs on and off the bus
Rest Areas: Most stops have benches and sheltered waiting areas.
Crowds: Buses can be busy during peak tourist times; for a quieter ride, try traveling early morning or late afternoon.
The big yellow harbour boats or “Havnebussen” are electrical powered boats covering 9 stops around the harbour. For the same price as a regular bus ticket, you get to experience Copenhagen from the water. See the harbour bus schedule here. Be aware that it is not possible to buy a ticket onboard, tickets can be purchased with the rejsekort or with the app DOT.
We recommend taking the harbour bus starting from Nyhavn and heading towards Refshaleøen. It might look odd at first, but at this old boatyard there is a lovely Street Food market with dozens of food booths from all around the world.
If you are instead feeling like a refreshing dip or just getting a nice drink and watching others splash into the water, take the harbour bus to Islands Brygge and visit the Harbour Bath - one out of many free bathing spots directly in the city.
