With more than 400 islands in Denmark, the Danes have always had a close relationship with the water. One of the best ways to explore Copenhagen is on a canal tour. These tours are excellent value and offer a great overview of otherwise difficult-to-reach parts of the city. For a more hands-on experience, consider renting a kayak and touring through the city's canals on your own. (Children must be at least 10 years old; no experience necessary.) Copenhagen also operates several water taxis. These are part of the normal transit system and run the length of <a href="https://www.afar.com/places/copenhagen-harbor-kobenhavn-s">Copenhagen Harbor</a>; they cover more of the harbor than the small, organized boat tours, and are an interesting trip in their own right.
