About the Knippelsbro (Københavns Havn) – Det Kongelige Bibliotek (Københavns Havn) crossing
Four minutes, and sixty-six boats a day to cover it. Knippelsbro is the bridge between Christianshavn and Slotsholmen; the Royal Library’s glass extension is on the water four minutes away.
Seven calendars, twenty of them all-week
The service runs 07:14 to 22:46. Copenhagen publishes separate running times for Monday to Wednesday, so departures appear in near-duplicate pairs a minute or two apart — the practical headway is thirty minutes.
Forty-four minutes shorter than the other way
The outbound leg runs to 23:30 against this one’s 22:46. Neither mirrors the other because both are segments of a route that continues past both stops.
27 July to 21 October 2026
Twelve weeks, and the same ticket as the metro. Four minutes is not a journey anyone plans — it is a stop on a longer one.
