Nyhavn

If Medieval Houses Had a Fashion Sense . . .

Nyhavn DenmarkNyhavn Copenhagen by GuoJunjun/Wiki Commons
🔎 Along a quiet 17th century harbour stands a curving line of medieval townhouses dressed in a dazzling array of colors. Many are homes. Many others serve as bars, restaurants, and cafes. Still others are held as memorials. Old boats remain docked in the harbor, matching the vintage quality of the houses along the waterfront. Feet clamber aboard canal boats and eyes widen in pleasure as locals and foreigners alike cruise down the placid water, absorbing the scenery the way a beachgoer soaks in the sun.

All along the southern canal front rise great mansions like beacons against the sky. Charlottenborg Palace finds her place among these, standing regal in the company of higher architecture.

Number 67 boasts of the years it spent as the residence of the famed Hans Christian Andersen, with a plaque to commemorate the event. Number 18 shares in this pride as the second house lived in by the author along the canal, offering itself as a themed souvenir shop in his honor. 🔍
