About Nyhavn
Nyhavn is the harbour canal running from Kongens Nytorv to the inner harbour, dug in the 1670s and today one of Copenhagen's most visited streets, with colourful houses, restaurants and canal boats. It lies between Kongens Nytorv and Amalienborg, and the Inderhavnsbroen footbridge leads on to Christianshavn. Kongens Nytorv metro station is at the end of the canal, so parking further out and taking the metro in is easy too.
