Nyhavn

What an incredible place. Definitely my favourite spot to hang out in Copenhagen, even if it is supremely touristy. The colourful buildings right by the canal were stunning and with all the boats docked up it had a very lively summery atmosphere. We got a few drinks and sat by the edge of the water listening to the live music. It was pretty perfect!

I must admit I didn’t really get all that excited at Nyhavn. We came via boat and walked along the canal. Sure, it’s pretty enough, but it’s full of tourist and tourist trap bars and eateries, so to me, not really a place to go out of your way for. Unless you need a new photo for your Facebook header or something…
It’s not dissimilar from Burano and Murano in Venice (both of which I prefer to Nyhavn) or from the canals in Amsterdam.
If it’s on your way, sure, walk along the canal, take a photo or two, and become one with your inner tourist. For me though, this is the kind of place someone who loves TripAdvisor would love. The average Unilocaler looking for a more ‘authentic’ experience can do better.

Der Hafen ist wunderschön alt und bunt. Das Flair und der Ausblick auf die alten Kutter und Häuser lohnt sich. Dort kann man gemütlich etwas essen gehen oder eine schöné Hafenrundfahrt machen.

This is a beautiful part of Copenhagen with colourful houses lining the waterfront and beautiful stunning boats oared there. Unfortunately in bad weather huddling inside a bar is the only thing you can do so it wouldn’t matter where you were but as soon as the rain stops and it gets warm enough to sit outside the place comes alive. There are plenty of bars to choose from although at lunch and dinner they often only let you sit there if you are going to have a meal. There are also some fantastic ice cream parlours so grab a cone and sit on the edge watching the world go by.

Love Nyhavn. Very pretty sight with colorful buildings and the canal full of tour boats. Restaurants line up on one side and you walk all around the place. There are some hot dog stands on one side and restrooms at the end where boats are launched from. Prices are expensive but thats true everywhere in Kobenhavn. Highly recommended to make memories.

This is one of the famous tourist places in Copenhagen and it’s cool to see it, but it gets sooo crowded and you might end up taking pictures of pretty colorful buildings with hundreds of tourists:-(. I went there at 7:30am and there weren’t many people and I was able to get great shots, but when I went back there as a part of walking tour around 12:30pm, it was packed with tourists.

SEHR touristisch, aber wenn‘s nicht ganz so voll ist, ist es tatsächlich ganz schön und interessant, die Restaurants muss man nicht haben, preislich ist‘s eh überzogen.

This place is just AMAZING!
Perfect place for a walk.

Maybe it is not the best-​looking street in Copenhagen, but it is definitely a iconic one. So I guess you just have to see it! It is not a very long street so it won’t take more than 10 minutes to walk down and take some photos. In the summer it gets packed so watch your belongings as you should in any other crowded area. If the weather is nice, you could bring a snack and sit with your legs dangling over the water with all the other tourists. If you didn’t bring a picnic basket, I suggest buying from Thai Asien Take Away or SMAG. I highly advise against eating at any of the restaurants at the waterfront! Although I cannot say I have eaten at all of them, their advertised prices are exorbitant and (at least at the places I visited) the food is certainly not worth it. Go to Nyhavn to take some photos but if you would like to sit in a restaurant, I recommend walking a bit further to visit Royal Garden, Damindra, or Karma Sushi. If you would like Danish food, go to Schønnemann or Aamann. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya!

What a tourist trap! Maybe I’m missing something here, but the number one tourist attraction in Copenhagen (as listed on trip advisor, I did the research) is a bunch of colourful houses along with a bunch of restaurants that could also be replicated anywhere else. Oh and there’s some water, don’t forget that.
Maybe it’s just me, but I didn’t get it. Yes, it was pretty. But hasn’t changed my life and it certainly isn’t memorable. It’s just there, and its something to do, and its within close proximity to the other tourist attractions.
My overall reaction: Yep that’s nice. Now let’s find something to eat!

This is pretty much THE place you are often told to come when you visit København. Like another reviewer said, you can’t say you’ve been until you’ve visited Nyhavn.
That being said, many, many, many other parts of the city are amazing and not just Nyhavn. Nyhavn may be pretty to look at but it is, for the most part, filled to the brim with tourist trap eateries and bars. You may find a gem here or there, but it’s rare. Also this is just an area with very pretty and colorful houses on a pier. It looks great during a sunny day and sunshine weather but not so once it’s gloomy and rainy. You have to come here on a good day to appreciate the beauty of Nyhavn, and try not to get trapped by one of the nearby eateries.
The best place in Nyhavn IMO is at the very end of the dock towards the open ocean. There you can look back on the quaintly lined blocks of buildings and take great photos, but you can also look at the pier into the open ocean where some other interesting features lie since many hotels are built on the pier area and have great lookouts.

This is and have been for years one of the big tourist traps of Copenhagen. A short walk down Nyhavn near the harbor is fine and there are plenty of great photo opportunities there, but a warning should go out that the the different small cafees and restaurants directly near the pier are very pricy and the that the price does not match the quality at all. As an alternative you can go to the nearby smaller markets and buy (much cheaper) cooled beverages of all kinds and just sit on the pier and enjoy them.

Copenhagen’s 17^th century canal is an entertainment district with bars, coffee shops, boutiques, museums is simply stunning. It doesn’t matter what time of day I come here it’s simply stunning. Even with selfie vexed visitors it’s simply stunning. Even with lots of crowds it’s simply stunning. Even at dawn (the best time to come here). when no one’s around I’m the only one there… jogging. it’s simply stunning. When I’m here, I love being a tourist because it’s simply stunning.
Visits: 5+
Tip: The boat tours start here, free with a Copenhagen card. You can also buy a ride here if you don’t have a card.

Sin duda uno de los clásicos paisajes de los paises del norte son las hileras de casas con fachadas de diferentes colores. Particularmente es algo que siempre disfruto visitar ya que le da un toque de color muy llamativo al tipico oscuro paisaje de estas zonas.

The name means «New Harbor», and while it doesn’t look the newest, it is quite nice. The shops all have different colors, and there are a lot of boats still sitting on the harbor, though our tour guide told us those boats are mostly unused nowadays. Hans Christian Anderson’s home is also on the harbor, and there’s a little plaque on his house. Apparently people still live in it! There are a bunch of (expensive) restaurants along the water, and almost all of them, if not all, have a place to sit outside to enjoy the view. Definitely worth a visit to walk around, although if you’re on a budget, it may not be the best place to eat.

What a great spot!
Right at the canal, what a view! nice boats, lots of tourists around, everyone seems to be so happy and positive, young Danish staff, chilled and friendly.
I decided to go for Danish cuisine this time, Danish meatballs, potato salad and a bit of salad were absolutely gorgeous!
It’s a very touristy place, great atmosphere, coming back again!

Beautiful and very iconic of Copenhagen. Can get very crowded at times but filled outdoor restaurants and boats. Lovely to walk down.

A fun and exciting place to hang out during the day or night. The restaurants can be reasonable if you look for specials and some restaurants are cheaper than others. We had dinner at Barock which was very good and lunch on our last day at Skipperkoen which had some nice lunch specials.
You could just order beer or wine and hang out and watch people passing by and enjoy the view of the canal. It’s not only tourists that eat at Nyhavn restaurants. We met a nice Danish couple seated next to us. They probably spent the entire night there since they were there when we arrived polished off 2 dishes of mussels and a bottle of wine and then ordered a main meal by the time we left. There is no rush to move diners so it’s relaxing to hang out even though it’s crowded. All outdoor seating have umbrellas and heaters when it gets cold and of course blankets.
Once your done eating walk up and down the canal and enjoy the water views and the interesting ships docked on the canal.
Warning, on Saturday night there is a lot of drinking. Many people are walking around with beers and bottles of wine but they do not get rowdy, at least the night that I was there.

Extremely touristy but for a reason. It’s quite picturesque and a great place to sit and people watch. Forget going to one of the over-​priced restaurants/​bars on the strip — pick up some beers and snacks from a convenience store (Copenhagen’s 7 – 11’s are immaculate!) and sit on the dock. There’s even a really clean public toilet by the canal, so no need to worry about where to go in your time of need.

A must-​see if you’re a tourist in Copenhagen. Gorgeous views of the canals, old-​fashioned boats, great people watching and some amazing places to just sit and drink and enjoy yourself.
The restaurants along the canal are really expensive but worth a stop if you’re more hungry than a local hot dog stand will satisfy. I promise you won’t hate the views as you’re drinking and eating near this incredible area!

An einem Kanal entlang reiht sich Restaurant an Restaurant. Überall kann man schön draußen sitzen und dem Treiben zusehen. Durch die vielen Touristen ist leider sehr voll.

Crowded, touristy, the restaurants suck and are expensive but way too pretty to pass up. It’s beautiful and full of Scandinavian charm so you simply must hang out here. Grab a fantastic $ 4 Danish hot dog, go to any 7 – 11 for a couple beers and just sit out and people watch. There’s one great souvenir shop of the opposite side of all the chaos called Galleri Nyhavn which had some nice reasonably priced souvenirs. This place is so picturesque, you must visit when you’re in Copenhagen. Actually, it’s kind of hard to miss since it’s literally around the block from Kongens Nytorv which is most likely where you’re going to wind up at some point.

If you go to Copenhagen and do not go to Nyhavn area you are not a true tourist =)
Of course, one of the must-​see places in Copenhagen. It is beautiful for sure — but busy, very very busy with tourists.
The colourful buildings and the canal with its boats reminded me a lot of Amsterdam. After some time you will notice it is not like Amsterdam at all.
First time I passed there I only went for a walk around the harbour, as it was hard to walk among tourists, musicians and hundreds of restaurant table.
If you are luck and find a spot close to the canal, it is really cool just seat back and people watching while eating an ice-​cream.
Ah, and maybe some people will disagree but, food there was not so expensive, like in other restaurants in the city — that was a surprise to me actually.

Esse lugar é muito fofo. Em pensar que um dia isso já foi o red light district de Copenhagen me deixa até um pouco surpresa, porque hoje é tão colorido, agradável e simpático que você nunca imaginaria.
Você pode caminhar, tirar fotos de todas as casinhas coloridas e ouvir histórias bem bacanas de muitas épocas diferentes. Se preferir, dali também saem tours de barco que velejam pelos canais da cidade.
Mesmo que você não goste de ver lugares super lotados de turistas este daqui vale a pena. Não esqueça a câmera.

Nyhaven is Copenhagen’s picturesque New Harbor since the late 1600s, and although it’s pleasant and semi-​sweet today, know that this is a gentrified sailors’ quarter — think tattoo shops, arm wrestling, and strumpets galore. Apparently, there is a remaining rough bar from the past called Hong Kong and a tattoo parlor or two. The salty, misty, ocean-​scented air, the boats, and historical gabled homes along with relaxed cafes, beer-​guzzling locals, and lots of tourists make this a nice, relaxed scene. HC Andersen lived in the red house at number 20. In winter, there are tiny Christmas market stalls. Go on a harbor cruise, which is paid for with your Copenhagen Card, and I recommend the House of Amber with the tiny museum inside.

Total tourist spot, but one you definitely must see if you are on a trip to Copenhagen.
The Colourful buildings must have been photographed millions of times and quite rightly so. It is a very picturesque spot to take a few snaps of the harbour, the docked boats and most importantly the multicoloured buildings.
I would recommend avoiding what looks like very touristy bars and restaurants in the area. Just have a walk round the harbour. Take your pics and then move on somewhere else for food or drinks.

I love Nyhavn. It’s a beautiful waterfront, canal, and entertainment district geared towards tourists, yet still remains very cultural and authentic. The district is lined by brightly colored 17^th– and early 18^th-​century townhouses turned bars, cafes, and restaurants, making it a beautiful backdrop for plenty of photo opportunities. Definitely come here if you’re in the mood to eat or drink — we swung by after lunch to walk around, sightsee, and shop, but the district is quite small and there aren’t any actual stores to browse. On a warm summer day, the district gets ridiculously crowded and becomes a great place to sit back, relax, and people watch.

A must see for all visitors of Copenhagen. It is such a unique part of the city and has rightfully become one of the most expensive areas of the city. It has these beautiful buildings of different colours and the canal where the tour boats sale. Locals go and just sit on the edge of the canal to drink a beer or eat an ice cream. Others sit on the cafés to enjoy, but just so you know the cafés are a bit expensive. So check the prices before you decide to sit down.
Nyhavn is also very popular for several kinds of events. Apart from starting your boat tour here you can find for example in the jazz week musicians giving small concerts here. There are also nice public toilets near the large anchor in the beginning of nyhavn in case you are in need!
It’s funny also to think about the history of this place. It was a place were sailors came to get drunk and find prostitutes. The area upgraded in order to get rid of this activity.
Remember to check the ice cream places. There are two in two different corners, both very good! Highly recommended. One of the two make also their own waffles. Just ask!

Pretty Pretty Place!!!
Lots of cafes, restaurants and tourist.
If you ever see pictures of Copenhagen most likely this is the place you’re looking at. Colourful buildings near the canals. Beautiful on a sunny day but also very busy.

If you are in Copenhagen, you must go here. Those postcards of Denmark with buildings, boats and water? Yup, it’s this place.
It’s very pretty and it seems unreal. Every part is picturesque. Go on a cruise for the full effect. Pick the blue Netto boat.
Lots of shops, bars and restaurants around here. Which equates to lots of tourists! But it’s definitely worth it. Trust me, it’s beautiful.

Wunderschöner malerischer Hafen, nicht zu groß und daher sehr übersichtlich! Leider sind die Restaurants und Bars gerade hier sehr teuer und die Portionen sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig, dafür aber echt lecker!

Sehr schöner Hafen mit schönen Häusern und Booten, allerdings gastronomisch unterirdisch ! Preislich absolut überteuert und die kleine Waffelbäckerei an der Ecke, aus der es so lecker duftet, ist leider mehr Schein als Sein !
Empfehlung: Dosenbier kaufen und dem bunten Treiben zugucken. Klingt stumpf, ist aber so ;-D

Nyhavn est un passage obligatoire si vous venez à Copenhague ! Très touristique, cet ancien port de pêche est très fréquenté mais vaut le détour !
Pour profiter de l’endroit, prenez une glacé, une boisson ou même piqué-​niquez sur les quais, beaucoup moins bruyant que manger dans les restaurants de la rue d’en face. Vous pouvez aussi à partir d’içi faire un tour en bateau (l’équivalent de notre bateau mouche) pour environ 12 €.

Sehr touristisch, aber dennoch ein schöner Ort, an dem man es länger aushalten kann.

Copenhagen’s waterfront and canal district was constructed back in 1670 and is now lined with rows of colorful townhouses, cafes and bars. Take the metro and get off at Kongens Nytorv, if you’re doing the boat tour. Copenhagen is surrounded by water so it makes sense to see the sights from a boat.
Famed author Hans Christian Andersen lived in one of the colorful houses for 18 years. You can’t pass up the chance to take your postcard worthy picture.

Natürlich ein sehr touristischer Ort (viele Menschen), aber mit viel Atmosphäre und Charme. Hier gibt es eine große Auswahl an Restaurants und der Ausblick auf Schiffe und Häuser läßt einen dann auch die Menschenmengen vergessen.

Echt ein schöner Hafen mit vielen Möglichkeiten zu entspannen. Besonders niedlich sind die unterschiedlich gebauten und alten Häuser.

Total überlaufen, voller TouristenKopenhagen hat einige schönere Ecken zu bieten.

Mir hat es im neuen Hafen SUUUUPER gefallen — tolle Kneipen, Wasserambiente, tolle Fotomotive.
Allerdings auch viele Menschen, viele Touristen…
Klasse zum Abhängen und Abchillen!

Wörtlich genommen der neue Hafen, mittlerweile aber längst der alte Hafen.
Die klasse, in allen Farben gestrichenen, alten Häuser strahlen eine tolle Atmosphäre aus, besonders am Abend oder bei Sonnenschein.
Sicherlich ein Touristenmagnet, aber dies auch zurecht, eben wegen des wunderbaren Ensembles der Häuser direkt am Wasser in Verbindung mit den alten Fischkuttern.
Ein kleiner Tippdie Waffelbäckerei nahe dem Nyhavn 71 bietet geniale belgische Waffeln mit Softeis für recht günstige ca. 3 Euro.
Das allgemeine Preisniveau ist m. E. übrigens nicht wesentlich höher als sonst in Kopenhagen.

Lohnt sich! Nett hier sogar bei Regenwetter! Die Preise sind tatsächlich etwas überteuert, aber dass bringt né Touristenattraktion nun mal mit sich.

ein bisschen wie die hafen-​flanier-​meile in lUbeck oder die schlachte in bremen, nur grösser.leider war das wetter nicht so das man hätte draussen sitzen koennen, aber der nyhavn ist zurecht einer des touristenziele denn es ist ein schöner ort an dem man im sommer herrlich am wasser sitzend nen tollen abend haben kabn

Einfach überbewertet. Für das wie sehr im Reiseführer hervorgehoben, ist es einfach klein und enttäuschend, eine typische Touristenmeile.

Nyhavn ist einfach wunderbar. Die Atmosphäre ist dort einzigartig. Es gibt dort viele Bars und Cafes. Ein must see in Kopenhagen!

Schöné Flaniermeile wenn auch bei gutem Wetter etwas überlaufen.
Einzigartige Atmosphäre durch die bunte Häuserreihe und die vielen kleinen Restaurants und Kneipen

Mein Highlight in Kopenhagen!
Am Wasser sitzen, ein Bierchen trinken, eine Kleinigkeit essen und die Seele baumeln lassen.

Nyhavn gehört zu meinen Lieblingsplätzen in Kopenhagen!
Lässt man erst einmal den Touristenschwarm bei den Anlegestellen für die Bootstouren hinter sich, eröffnet sich ein wunderschönes Fleckchen!
Eng aneinander gereihte, bunte Häuschen, Schiffe, Wasser — eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre.
Auch das unscheinbar wirkende Haus von H.C. Andersen lässt sich hier finden.
Natürlich sind laue Sommerabende hier herrlich, aber auch bei Regen findet man Dänen in ihren Regenjacken mit Wollmütze auf den Schiffchen ruhig und in bester Laune Schach spielen.

Der Weihnachtsmarkt hier hat einen ganz eigenen Flair. Ideal für schöné Erinnerungsfotos.

typisches touristenfallen — arrangement, qausi kopenhagens ballermann. der teil der stadt, bei dem dir sofort klar wird, daß kein einheimischer hier jemals zeit verbringen würde.
gruselige massengastro und souvenirhölle. wegbleiben.

Ich habe den Nyhavn gesehen, als ich eine Bootstour durch Kopenhagen gemacht habe! Beeindruckend! Wirklich! Lauter schöné, bunte Häuser und davor das Wasser! Ein richtig schöner Anblick!
