Cirkelbroen

4.6 ·

Cross Cirkelbroen, a circular bridge whose masts echo the harbour's sailing ships. Walk or cycle its curving deck, then look back from the canal edge, close to the Black Diamond.

📖

Full description

Cirkelbroen is a circular pedestrian and cycle bridge over the canal in the Christianshavn area, opposite the Black Diamond. Its design resembles a group of ship masts, and the circular form creates a flow of movement rather than a straight crossing.

Reviewers enjoy it on foot, by bike and from a boat on the canal, and note it as a good example of architecture joining two banks. It is open around the clock and free, and a visit takes only about fifteen minutes.

It works well at golden hour or in the evening for photographs.

Reviews

Amazing bridge non only circular, but the movement is circular. Excellent example of architecture that join the banks I go through by walk, by bike and by boat. Amazing. Front of Black diamond, the Royal library
