- Rating 84%
- Price ~99 kr
- Duration ~60 min
- Languages DA
- City: Copenhagen
- Start point: Kongens Nytorv 6
- Provider: StoryHunt
A perfect tour for those who want to know the stories behind the 'postcard' view of Nyhavn. It reveals the harbor's gritty history as a sailor's district and its remarkable transformation into the city's most photographed spot.
Nyhavn is the quintessential Copenhagen image, and this StoryHunt tour provides the historical depth to match its visual appeal. The walk explores the harbor’s 17th-century origins, its role in the city’s trade, and the lives of the people who lived and worked there, including the famous author Hans Christian Andersen.
The tour consists of 8 stories that take you through different eras, from the canal’s construction by Swedish prisoners of war to its modern-day status as a vibrant social hub. Along the way, you’ll get insights into the local food scene and tips on how to enjoy the “sunny side” of the canal like a local.
Note that this tour is currently only available in Danish. It is a relatively short 60-minute walk, making it an ideal choice for a quick but informative introduction to the area. The tour requires a continuous internet connection and cannot be downloaded for offline use.
