Nyhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark 🗺🇩🇰
··········
These beautiful and historic waterfront homes are part of the Nyhavn district, located in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark. ❤️ The homes were built in the late 1600s and early 1700s when the area was used by fisherman and merchants shipping their goods from the ocean all the way to Kongens Nytorv (King’s Square.) 🎣⛴ Today, the small waterway is home to a sort of floating museum, with quite a few historical ships on display!

Within minutes of Nyhavn are some of Copenhagen’s most famous landmarks including Amalienborg Palace (the home of the Danish Royal family,) the incredible Frederik’s Church, and the Kastellet (Citadel) fortress! 🏰⛪️ Copenhagen itself is located less than an hour from Malmö, Sweden, which is accessible by car 🇸🇪🚗

Nyhavn was also the home of the famous author Hans Christian Andersen for several decades. It was there that he wrote several of his most famous stories, including “The Snow Queen,” which served as inspiration for Disney’s “Frozen.” 📖❄️
