Nyhavn

Colourful, captivating Nyhavn is one of Copenhagen’s most iconic sights and one of the locals’ favourite places to sink a cold beer on a hot day. The beautiful old houses have been renovated and restaurants dominate the old port. As you walk beside the canal, you’re greeted by the sounds of jazz and the sights of pavemnt cafes and people enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and great food. You’re never far from the area’s maritime history – boats line the canal and canal tours can take you on round trips of the city’s other waterways from here too. Text: visitcopenhagen.com
