Parking near Nyhavn — where and what it costs
Nyhavn sits in the green paid zone, which costs the same as the red zone on Kongens Nytorv: the city's top rate. There are few street spaces, so in practice you'll end up in a car park.
While Nyhavn itself is a pedestrian-only zone, convenient parking is available within a short walking distance. Several modern underground parking garages near Kongens Nytorv offer secure and easy parking options for your visit.
Street parking costs 45 DKK/hour 08–18, 18 DKK 18–23 and 6 DKK overnight, seven days a week. The first hour of your first registered parking is free from Saturday 17:00 to Monday 08:00 (and on public holidays), but you still have to register it.

Parking near Nyhavn: frequently asked questions
Can I park for free near Nyhavn?
Not really. You pay seven days a week, and the closest thing to free is the first hour from Saturday 17:00 to Monday 08:00. Free disc parking only exists in the city's time-limited zones further out.
How long can I park on the street?
The city sets no general maximum in the paid zones, but some stretches have their own signed rules. Read the sign where you park.
Is it worth having a car in Copenhagen?
No — Copenhagen is built for bikes and metro. If you're staying at a Nyhavn hotel, arrive by train or bus and save yourself the parking pain.
