Nyhavn is a 17th-century waterfront, canal and entertainment district in Copenhagen, Denmark. Stretching from Kongens Nytorv to the harbour front just south of the Royal Playhouse, it is lined by brightly coloured 17th and early 18th century townhouses and bars, cafes and restaurants.
Tivoli Gardens has an elaborate neoclassical stone archway entrance and is one of the world's first amusement parks. It opened in 1843, and it's been operating ever since.
The Glyptotek is a museum for people who love pre-20th century art. It has a beautiful winter garden and a café. The collection is built around the personal collection of Carl Jacobsen, the son of the founder of the Carlsberg Breweries.
