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 Viking Ship Museum is located on the Museum Island in Roskilde Fjord, just a 35-minute drive from Copenhagen. It is the national museum of Denmark, showcasing Danish ships, navigation, and medieval shipbuilding culture.
The Viking people were legendary warriors who dominated northern Europe and even extended their influence to Russia from the late 8th to the late 11th century. Their great achievements as North Sea pirates were not only due to their formidable fighting skills but also their pirate ships. These warships allowed them to sail farther and faster, making them the rulers of that era. The Viking Ship Museum houses the remains of five authentic Viking pirate ships excavated from Skuldelev. These are not replicas but actual wreckage of the original vessels.
If you visit the Viking Ship Museum in the summer, you can even become a sailor and sail on a replica Viking pirate ship in Roskilde Fjord, experiencing the pirate life from over 1000 years ago. Since 2012, the museum has also offered a unique Nordic pirate meal for visitors. If you are a fan of ships, pirates, and history, don't miss this unique Viking Ship Museum.
