Northern Europe - Copenhagen, Denmark - Scandinavia

The Nyhavn area is one of Copenhagen's most attractive. At one time, it was frequented by sailors and the short street divided by the canal was lined with tatoo parlors. Now, Nyhavn is lined with an astounding variety of restaurants and shops. The brightly painted 18th century houses are well preserved, and Hans Christian Andersen lived in 3 of them during his lifetime (numbers 18, 20, and 67). At the harbor end of Nyhavn, you can catch a ferry to Oslo or the hydrofoil to Malmö.
