    The name “Nyhavn” translates as “new harbor,” which refers to its founding in 1670 under King Christian V. Originally, this harbor served as a trading center for ships and was an important point for the exchange of goods between Denmark and other countries.

    Hiking

    Nyhavn was originally a bustling commercial port where ships from all over the world docked. It was home to sailors, prostitutes, pubs, and bars.

    Today, the beautiful old houses have all been renovated, and fine restaurants dominate the old harbor. At Nyhavn, people relax by the canal and enjoy jazz music and great food.
