About
About Operaen (Københavns Havn)
The stop stands on Holmen, directly in front of the opera house that gave it its name, and it is one of the few places in Copenhagen where the boat is genuinely quicker than the walk. Getting here on foot means a long detour around the harbour; the crossing from Nyhavn takes 5 minutes.
That Nyhavn link is the heavy one — 110 sailings a week arriving and 117 departing, running from 00:00 right through to 23:55. The second connection, north to Nordre Toldbod, is quieter and shorter in hours: 68 arrivals and 74 departures at 6 minutes each, with nothing before 06:57 and the last boat at 23:46.
Movia runs the harbour buses as ordinary city transport, not as a sightseeing service, so a standard Copenhagen travel pass covers the trip and the boats stop long enough to load bicycles. Timetables are published as a large set of overlapping day patterns rather than a single weekday sheet, which is why departure counts differ between the two directions.
