Review:

Originally a busy 17th century Copenhagen commercial port in which ships from all corners of the world docked, Nyhavn is the most iconic part of Copenhagen, easily recognizable from photos and movies. Once filled with sailors, ladies of ill repute, alehouses and pubs, Nyhaven (or New Harbor) is still a colourful, lively neighbourhood on the canal between Kongens Nytory and the harbor near Royal Playhouse.

Beautiful, colourful 17th and 18th century houses now serve as expensive condos, high-end restaurants, cafes and bars. The oldest house in the Nyhavn is No. 9, Nyhavn, built in 1681. Not much has changed to the house façade since. The houses in Nyhavn were popular with artists such as the famous writer Hans Christian Andersen, who used to live in no. 20, no. 67 and no. 18 at different times. Nyhavn is always filled with people strolling by and enjoying the atmosphere, the street music and beautiful old ships in the canal.
