Nyhavn (new harbor) was built in the late seventeenth century as a channel allowing access to the sea from the ancient city of Copenhagen.

As time grew into the area inhabited by fishermen and sailors. And later in a notorious neighborhood.

The expansion of the city to the sea eventually absorbing the Nyhavn, now part of downtown Copenhagen.

The Nyhavn canal is a precious present, punctuated by the typical houses with facades of colors (some of them dating from 1681) that give rise to one of the most famous postcards of Copenhagen. In the channel are often many wooden boats moored, which help create a special atmosphere that brings us to the past.

The anchor located at the beginning of the channel is a memorial to Danish sailors who lost their lives during the Second World War.

From Nyhavn boat excursions depart going through the city of Copenhagen through their channels. It is a very nice to meet some of the most representative monuments and buildings of the city.

Nyhavn is also an ideal area for walking and a few beers on the terrace (weather permitting) or inside the bars, pubs and cafes of different styles that can be found on this street.
