Nyhavn Harbor

Nyhavn (New Harbor), which is flanked by a street with the same name, is located behind Amalienborg. This charming location is bustling with activity, especially in the summer. Inviting visitors to stop by for a look at the goods on sale in the stores and a nice nibble in the restaurants and cafés that call this spot home are the brightly painted gabled buildings that border the canal. These buildings bring a burst of color to gray days.

Danish sailors who died in World War II are remembered with an anchor at the end of the harbor. While Nyhavn was originally a seedy area of the city, it is today a very lovely area of Copenhagen with a magnificent feel that is featured in innumerable pictures of the city. At anchor are idyllic museum ships, like the 1885 lightship Fyrskib. Sweden can be reached from Nyhavn via hydrofoil and catamaran, as well as tours of the harbor and the canal.
