Copenhagen's Nyhaven, or "New Harbor," is actually steeped in a long heritage. Colorful buildings line the canal and hint at a history of small-vessel traffic. Like many ports, this strip has a salty history, rich with sailors, drinking and literary exploits. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen made his home in Nyhavn as well. It's cleaned up now and is a lovely place for a stroll.

"Spent half a day wondering around Copenhagen last weekend and loved it! A beautiful City, full of charm, especially the Nyhavn area.

"I took the tour just last weekend after extensive biking all over Copenhagen, and it was a great relaxation and a nice way to discover the city from a different perspective and experience the marine side of the city (despite the name, the highlight of the tour is not going the narrow canals but accr..."oss the wide strait running across Copenhagen between the city proper and Amager and Christianshavn).
The guide was a very nice girl who spoke great English and Spanish, apart from the obvious Danish, and what she said was informative and interesting. Sadly, I only got to hear bits of that, as the acoustics of the boat is rather so-so and there were many very unruly (and noisy) children on board.
