Introduction

Copenhagen's Nyhavn is a historic landmark in the city center, built as an artificial canal between 1669 and 1673. It was designed to bring prosperous maritime traffic into the heart of the city and boost Copenhagen's economic development. The well-preserved houses along the canal, with one side transformed into a lively pedestrian street, create a picturesque setting. Nyhavn has become one of Copenhagen's iconic tourist attractions. In the summer, visitors can enjoy the charming views of boats sailing on the shimmering water and the colorful facades of the buildings. The area is bustling with restaurants and outdoor dining options, attracting a large number of tourists. Even if some dishes may not suit everyone's tastes, one can still embrace the beauty of Nyhavn under the radiant sunshine. The famous fairy tale author Hans Christian Andersen lived in houses No.18, No.20, and No.67 along Nyhavn, showcasing his fondness for these picturesque buildings.
