Pleasure in Copenhagen

Nyhavn is an idyllic part of Copenhagen with old houses in strong colours - during summer lots of people are enjoying the sun here while they dine or just have a beer or an icecream. No. 9, Nyhavn, is the oldest house in the area dating back to 1681. The design of the house has not been altered since that time.

Many of the houses lining the quays of Nyhavn have been the homes of prominent artists.

Hans Christian Andersen used to live at no. 20. This is where he wrote the fairy-tales \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'the Tinder-Box\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\', \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Little Claus and Big Claus\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\', and \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'the Princess and the Pea\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'.
