Højbro (High Bridge) is a central and historic bridge in Copenhagen’s Inner City, connecting Strøget with Slotsholmen across Højbro Plads and the canals surrounding Christiansborg.

The bridge was originally constructed in the early 1600s and has, over the centuries, served as an important passageway for pedestrians, carriages, and later automobiles. Højbro is known for its classic architecture with stone paving and balustrades, offering beautiful views of the city’s canals, Christiansborg Palace, and the surrounding historic buildings. Although the bridge is still accessible to cars, it functions primarily as a pedestrian bridge today and is a popular spot for both locals and visitors wishing to experience the heart of Copenhagen. Its central location, historical significance, and scenic canal views make Højbro one of the city’s most iconic urban landmarks.
