What's included in Cultural Christianshavn Private Walking Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Nyhavn was initially a busy port. The canal was filled with ships and lined with pubs for sailors and ladies of pleasure to enjoy. King Christian V established the area as a gateway to the inner city, and at that time, the canal stretched all the way up to Kongens Nytorv.
Someone who used to live in Nyhavn was Hans Christian Andersen. In house No. 20, he wrote the famous fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea". During his lifetime, he also lived in No. 67 and No. 18.
Inderhavnsbroen
Inderhavnsbroen—the Inner Harbor Bridge—is a 180-meter-long bridge that stretches between Harbor Street in Nyhavn and the North Atlantic House/Greenland Trade Area. It was built to facilitate pedestrians' and cyclists' travel from the city centre to the islands that make up Christianshavn. From the bridge, you have a fantastic view of Copenhagen Harbour.
