The picturesque, photogenic highly photographed canal area of Nyhavn is a must to visit - its on the way to the Royal Palace and to the harbour to see the Little Mermaid so its hard to miss really.
From the Townhall/Radhus take one of the streets - there are several parallel to each other which make up the town centre with cute shops and buildings on cobbled stone streets - such as Stroget and walk on down to the lovely square of Kongens Nytorv.
You will see the cute houses that line the canal at Nyhavn start from here!
The elegant buildings of the Royal Academy of Arts and the Royal Theatre are here as well.
Walk down along the canal for picturesque shots of the boats and coloured several century old houses along here, usually excellent reflections in the water and if you are lucky you will also the bridge that is the road lift to let boats through.
Its here on the corner that a NZ girl i worked with who'd live in Copenhagen recommended that i tried 'gumbleduff' (have to check the spelling) and when i did she was right - its the icecream shop on the corner near the bridge at Nyhavn in the photos - and its lovely icecream wih a marshmallow type stuff squirted on top.
Also along here was the restaurant, Nyhavns Forgekro, at No 5 that the Lonely Planet recommended and i tried on my first visit to Copenhagen for its herring buffet!! Leave a Comment

The boat is taking you around all the Canals of the downtown area, and a guide is telling about the all the historic sites you pass on the way in both Danish, English, German and French.
You can get on the boat either in Nyhavn or at Holmens Church.
If you're only a few persons you dont need reservation, but if you are in a bigger group you better first call on the telephone.
There are different companyes making these tours but Netto-Bådene is cheepest.

Every tourist probably visits this area during their stay in Copenhagen - it is a historic, popular and colourful harbour area full of bars and restaurants and cafes and very picturesque. (At number 20 Nyhavn, Hans Christian Andersen wrote his first fairytale). Leave a Comment

 Nyhavn Canal by TNPETER3
If you can't get a seat on a patio, you can pick up your own beer and take a seat along the canal to enjoy the views. (people and places)
At night, I found the restaurants busy and the bars crowded. Since it is a tourist must see area, be prepared to spend a little more for food and drink. The pints I had here were probably the most expensive I found at 45-50 DKK a pint. Leave a Comment Directions: Near Kongens Nytorv

Packed with surrounding restaurants & colourful houses this canal is a hive of activity.
The canal is great for photo snaps as it is filled with old moored sailing ships
On the corner there is the Amber House museum - the jewellery is rather pricey in there
It was established by King Christian V in 1671-73 intended to be used as a harbour for the Kongens Nytorv. It was to bring commerce into the heart of the city & became a lively port where sailors met for a few bevvies & fistfights in the taverns.
Drinks prices are at a premium here even if the food menus are fairly attractively priced
The hop on hop off canal trips start there as well as the waterbus Leave a Comment Address: Nyhavn

 Nyhavn by Nemorino
The Danish poet and fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) lived in three different houses on Nyhavn at different times of his life. Leave a Comment

Nyhavn (New Port) was established in 1673 by King Christian V as a gateway to the sea from the old inner city. Nyhavn once had a bad reputation and it was a tough neighbourhood with fights, prostitutes and plenty of liquor flowing. Today it is a very popular place among locals and tourist – and it is still possible to have your share of drinks in some of the many restaurants, pubs and cafés which are located along the canal.
When the weather is fine, Nyhavn could be really crowded and I also like to go to there with my friends. Normally we bring our own beers and just sit on the edge of the harbour enjoying the sunshine and the atmosphere…
However, Nyhavn is not just restaurants, pubs and cafés. Take a stroll and look at the sailing ships anchored in the canal and the surrounding beautiful old houses. On the front of no. 67 there is a small plaque with the name of Hans Christian Andersen. The famous Danish fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen loved Nyhavn, and he lived there for more than 25 years (from 1834 to 1838 he lived in no. 20, from 1845 to 1864 in no. 67 (on the sunny side) and later in no. 18 from 1871 to his death in 1875).
The great anchor in front of Nyhavn (at Kongens Nytorv) is a monument commemorating all the Danish sailors who offered their life's during World War II.
