Nyhavn

With its many restaurants, pubs and cafes, and old-styled canal boats and restored vessels berthed along the quayside, Nyhavn attracts tourists and copenhageners alike on long summer days.

Nyhavn dates from 1671 and was designed to connect Kongens Nytorv with Copenhagen harbour. Its unique houses were built in the seventeenth century originally as homes for the workers employed on the harbour´s construction.
As increasing numbers left the countryside and migrated to the city the houses were heightened and backhouses and side houses added to accommodate the influx.

Strøget

Ideally a shopping trip to Copenhagen should start on Strøget, one of Europe´s longest pedestrian streetways whose shops cater for every conceivable taste.

Parallel and side streets offer an array of exciting special outlets from antique stores to the more exclusive fasion boutique.

A route up Strøget starting from the Town Hall Square and ending at Kongens Nytorv you pass two smaller squares and encounter most of the city´s buzzing and atmospheric café life.
