Larsens Plads, Waterfront esplanade in Copenhagen, Denmark

Larsens Plads extends along the Zealand side of the Inner Harbour, from Nyhavn canal to the Nordre Toldbod area near Langelinie.

The site transformed from a timber storage area in 1719 to a shipyard in 1802 under Lars Larsen, later becoming a major port for trans-Atlantic traffic.

The waterfront features an untitled 1979 sculpture by Danish artist Søren Georg Jensen and a replica of Michelangelo's David near the West India Warehouse.

The area connects to multiple transportation options and stands near Amalienborg Palace, with several restaurants offering harbor views.

From 1879 to 1935, the location served as a terminal for Scandinavian emigrants departing to America through the Thingvalla Line and Scandinavian America Line.
