NYHAVN, Copenhagen - an old 'wooden' ship's leaving port. 2008 © All rights reserved.

Nyhavn docks were constructed by King Christian V in 1670 as an encouragement to trade and shipping, with a new canal going from the harbour of Copenhagen to Kongens Nytorv. Along the quays, houses have been built on the two different sides - one side (the nice) contains Charlottenborg castle and blocks of flats, which belong to the bourgeoisie; and on the other side, there are houses built of timber, and picturesque buildings.

Up to the 1950s and 1960s, many houses were situated here, but no so-called decent people would have ever ventured into this part of town after dark. In that very same period, poets praised that very quality of the old Nyhavn in songs like "Nu går våren gennem Nyhavn".

Today, this side of Nyhavn has become fashionable. The quay has been turned into a pedestrian street and the harbour basin has been opened for old sailing ships. Excellent restaurants and cafés have opened; and especially in the summer, the quay is crowded with people having a good time.

Today, if you are interested in buying property in this part of town, you have to be more than well-off.
One of the most famous residents of Nyhavn ( at Nyhavn 18 )
- was the fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen

You can take tours departing from Nyhavn on the canal tour boats or Havnebussen (the harbor bus) to see many of the important sights around here, including Holmen.
