Place to see: Nyhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark

Nyhavn

Nyhavn

Nyhavn means new harbor. It's a very popular area where we can find bars and restaurants facing out to a picturesque harbor.

About this place:

Nyhavn is a popular area in Copenhagen with both locals and tourists. The street is lined with many small bars and restaurants facing out to a picturesque harbor. In warmer weather people fill every available table in the outdoors seating area in front of every restaurant. And even in cooler weather the heartier types sit outdoors with a beer and a blanket, provided by the restaurant on each seat, over their legs.

Less formal seating is on the edge of the harbour with bring-your-own beer. It is not uncommon to see groups of young people sitting along the waterfront with beer, enjoying the sunshine, the crowds and the street entertainment.

    Even when Copenhagen is just a stopover, Nyhavn is an easy morning walk from many hotels. Early morning is the perfect time - only a few revellers from the night before are still around, and the light hits the water just right.
