Today, it is a modern maritime community with a total of 8 residential islands with streets named after famous jazz musicians who have lived in Copenhagen. Jump in the harbour or take a break. Photographer Signe Nors Fiskerihavnen Fiskerihavnen is a local maritime community with small boat sheds and self built houses. Small fishing boats head to the sea from here, leaving the smell of paint and stain behind. Neptune and mermaids are full of life at Fiskerihavnen.
