Nyhavn

"Nyhavn is iconic - you've seen it on postcards, every Google search of Copenhagen that you've done, and probably walked past a decal of it at the airport. That said, you can expect that everyone else did too and it will be a bit crowded when you head there. A few tips to help you beat the crowds and make the most of Nyhavn: 1.) For the best view, walk on the side of Nyhavn with the even number house numbers - you'll get the best view of the most-photographed and scenic side of Nyhavn 2.) While on the "even numbered" side of the street - take note of No. 20 - few people notice, but it's a red house where Hans Christian Andersen lived in May 1835 3.) Eat and drink elsewhere! Nyhavn is notoriously expensive, and no locals eat or drink there, you have much better options nearby like Union Kitchen for a bite to eat or the Tipsy Mermaid for a craft beer. 4.) If you are thirsty, you can walk to 7-Eleven and grab a can of beer or small wine bottle for a much more affordable price and you can still sit on the edge of Nyhavn, dangle your legs and enjoy the vibe without the tourist trap prices 5.) The BEST photo spot is the first bridge that crosses Nyhavn as you walk towards the main harbor - don't forget your selfie stick! 6.) You can save time and get a Canal Tour right from Nyhavn to see more of Copenhagen fast and from a cool perspective on the water (booking link below) BONUS TIP: Come back at night - Nyhavn is just as beautiful in the evening and even more vibrant, so swing back later in your day and see another side of iconic Nyhavn.

"One of my favourite stops of all - and one of the most iconic spots in the city. The combination of the colourful houses, canal and old boats make Nyhavn a beautiful sight and place to walk around. Definitely worth spending a bit of time slowly meandering around - especially in the winter when the Christmas market is up and running. "

"THE spot to see when visiting Copenhagen. It's the picture you see everywhere when looking for Copenhagen pictures. It's a very cute harbor with restaurants along. Try to go the earliest in the morning to avoid the crowd, especially during weekends."
