One of the main attractions of the city of Copenhagen is Nyhavn district and the channel, which is translated from the Danish language means "new harbor". The length of the channel is 1 km in length and 15 m in width.

Dig a canal was the Swedish prisoner in 1671 during the reign of King Christian V. The author of "New Harbor," is the Royal Engineer B. Ruzenstin. The main purpose of the construction of the canal was the desire of the Danish kings to establish a direct connection between the Oresund Strait and new Royale. At that time it was one of the main shopping areas and it is located in front of the royal palace charlottenborg palace.

Nyhavn district became the residence of the sailors, who were returning from long-distance travel. For a long time it was called the Copenhagen red light district and was considered the most dangerous place in the city. In 1980, the region was restored, and the harbor was one of the most popular attractions in Copenhagen.

At the beginning of the channel has a large anchor - a monument to the sailors who died during the Second World War. Along the canal for more than three hundred years, clinging to each other, lined up a fabulous multi-colored house. There once lived and wrote his famous works of the famous storyteller Hans Christian Andersen.

Today Nyhavn is Copenhagen's landmark and one of the favorite places for guests and locals. Along the canal is full of restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, souvenir shops. You can not just sit back and try the local cuisine, but also enjoy the beautiful panoramic view. The old harbor is today used as a pier for fishing boats and small excursion boats.
