To the rear of Amalienborg lies Nyhavn (New Harbor), which is flanked by a street of the same name.
At the end of the harbor, an anchor serves as a memorial to Danish sailors who lost their lives in World War II.
Nyhavn was once a disreputable quarter of the city, but now, with its brightly painted gabled houses, many containing restaurants or cafés, it's a particularly charming part of Copenhagen that features in countless images of the city. Idyllic museum ships lie at anchor, including a lightship (Fyrskib) dating from 1885.
