About the Det Kongelige Bibliotek (Københavns Havn) – Knippelsbro (Københavns Havn) crossing
Sixty-seven departures from 07:29 to 23:30 on a crossing that takes four minutes. Twenty-one run every day; the other forty-six split across five more calendars.
The shortest hop on the harbour bus route
Knippelsbro is the bridge between Slotsholmen and Christianshavn, and the stop sits beside it. Four minutes from the Black Diamond means the boat has barely got moving before it is alongside again.
Half-hourly, with a midweek twin
Like the rest of Copenhagen’s harbour buses, this route publishes a separate set of running times for Monday to Wednesday, so many departures appear twice a minute or two apart. The practical headway is thirty minutes.
27 July to 21 October 2026
A twelve-week plan. The boats run on the same fare system as the metro, which makes this the cheapest sightseeing in the city as well as a way of crossing it.
