Nyhavn: Copenhagen's picturesque post card motif

If you've ever googled Copenhagen, you've probably come across a picture of the historic Nyhavn port (see title image). The picturesque harbour front with its colourful, age-old gabled houses reflected in the water is the city's landmark. Once a busy trading port full of sailors, Nyhavn is now a picturesque, lively place to stroll around and take photos.

Even though there a lots of cafés there, the real charm of the place lies in its atmosphere, which you can enjoy without having to buy anything. Simply stroll along the canal, admire the old wooden ships and let yourself be carried away by the special flair. Fun fact: The famous fairy tale author Hans Christian Andersen also lived here.

An absolute highlight is one of the many canal cruises that start here. In just under an hour, they give you a great overview of the city from the water and show you the most important sights, such as the Little Mermaid and the Opera House. Nyhavn is the perfect place for a great photo and a relaxing stroll.

Rosenborg Castle and the King's Garden

The third highlight, which shows the historical and magnificent side of the city, is Rosenborg Castle. It is located in the centre of the city and is a real eye-catcher. The fairytale Renaissance castle was built in the early 17th century by the Danish King Christian IV as a pleasure palace.

Today it is a museum that takes visitors back in time. The highlight par excellence are the Danish crown jewels, which are exhibited beneath the castle - a sight you won't forget in a hurry. But the surrounding King’s Garden is also outstanding. It is the oldest and most visited park in Copenhagen and a green oasis of peace. Here you can take a relaxing stroll through the gardens, sit on a bench and soak up the special atmosphere. A perfect place to switch off and take a deep breath.

Sound of Dreams: Home to Volbeat, MØ and Co.

The Scandinavian country also has a lot to offer musically. Among others, the metal band Volbeat ("Still Counting"), pop singer MØ ("Lean On"), the pop singer Lukas Graham ("7 Years") and the Safri Duo ("Played-A-Live") are at home in Denmark.
