Offering connections across the harbor for pedestrians and cyclists, Lille Langebro is the newest of a series of new bridges across Copenhagen, which are part of the effort of transforming the historical CPH merchant and navy harbor into a place for people to spend their free time.

When the Harbour Bath (Havnebadet) opened in 2003, it marked a massive change in Copenhagen’s relation to its harbor.

The building is designed to support the personal development of its 400 inhabitants, balancing the individual and the community. Social sustainability by sharing common rooms. The rooms are small and equipped with a washroom. Living rooms, kitchens, and many other common amenities are shared by some or all inhabitants.

The building houses a concert hall with 1800 seats that is home to the Royal Symphony Orchestra, and several smaller stages and recording studios.

Used by the military as a training grounds and shooting range from the 1700s up until the 1950s, it became a garbage dump afterwards, an old tradition on Amager, which Copenhageners like to joke about (lorteøen - shit island). In spite of this history, today Amagerfælled presents as a rare example of relatively untouched nature in Copenhagen, ironically situated to a large part on artificially reclaimed land.

Both bridges (Cykelslangen and Bryggebroen) together were the first of the new harbor crossings that are built exclusively for cyclists.

Enghavepark was built in the late 1920s on the site of former allotment gardens. Laid out in the neoclassical style, it features a bandstand, a playground and fields for various sports.

Israels Plads with the adjacent Torvehallerne is today a meeting point for CPH foodies. There has been a farmer’s market here since the strict no building policy of the walled city ended in the 1890s until the 1950s. Then the entire area became a huge parking lot.

Ørsteds Park is an early example of reuse: Once part of the city’s defenses outside the walls, the area was transformed into a park after the city wall was demolished, retaining parts of the former moat as a lake inside the park with dramatic hills and crooked paths.

The remaining time of the tour is spent on cycling from one location to another
