Nyhavn

Ever thought of having a date in a cozy city like Copenhagen?

Famous for its brightly colored buildings and serves as hub of canal tours, Nyhavn is one of the most visited tourist attraction in Copenhagen, Denmark. With a dazzling array of bars and restaurants, Nyhavn is the perfect place to end a long day.

Constructed from 1670-1673, Nyhavn was built by King Christian V. One of the reasons for its erection, it is the gateway from the sea to the King's Square (Kongens Nytorv).  Aside from being a general landing area for ships and fish trading, the place during that time is also well-known for its overflowing beer and rampant prostitution.

The oldest building in Nyhavn is No. 9, which was built in 1661.
