The Nyhavn (literally meaning 'The New Harbour') seems to be a popular hang-out for locals and tourists alike. The street is lined with many restaurants and bars and the outdoor tables are filled up throughout any sunny day. Apparently, the outdoor seats are still popular in the winter, when the heaters are fired up and the restaurants or pub would provide their patrons with a blanket.
The famous fairy-tale author, Hans Christian Andersen, has lived in Nyhavn for some years. However, I can't find the details about his home during those years.
On a side note, did you know that the Danish name for Copenhagen is 'Kobenhavn', which translates to "the buying harbor" ?
