Nyhavn's history

Nyhavn dates back to 1673, and was originally called "Den Nye Havn". Nyhavn was built as an alternative to the old port, and for many years was a busy commercial port where many ships from all over the world docked. It also meant that the harbor was an area with many sailors, cheerleaders and parties.

In the 1980s, the area underwent a thorough renovation, and today it is mostly tourists and other guests who visit Nyhavn for, among other things, to take pictures of the beautiful, historic buildings.
