【June 5 2013】Nyhavn is a manmade canal that flows into Copenhagen from the harbor. Built in 1671, the canal was intended to provide easier transport for merchants who needed access to the heart of the city. Soon after, these colorful "townsmen's houses" appeared. Today, this neighborhood that some call the "longest outdoor bar in Scandinavia" may be more crowded than usual, as people celebrate both Constitution Day and Father's Day in Denmark.
