7 Fairytale Places in Copenhagen
3. In olden times, sailors used to meet at the legendary Nyhavn.
Nyhavn, translated as the New Harbor, is warmly welcoming the traveler, promising to thrill with its eye-catching mien and background story. This is the place where sailors used to meet in the past, a part of the harbor that was also known for its brothels. Wacky, huh? But, on a more fairytale-like note, Hans Christian Andersen lived and wrote some of his magical stories within this area.
Nowadays, Nyhavn is populated by beautiful wooden boats, by old houses’ facades painted with strong colors, and by chic terraces. This old fellow gives our traveler the perfect opportunity to relax. After a long, peaceful walk, the traveler sits at one of the terraces, enjoying a flavored coffee and a traditional smorrebrod – a yummy Danish sandwich.
