Situated on a picturesque canal, the Nyhavn quay is one of the main entertainment centers of Copenhagen, with its many bars and restaurants. Perhaps the most famous resident of Nyhavn was fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen, whose house is located at the head of the main canal.
Legoland Billund, the original Legoland park, opened in 1968 in Billund, Denmark. The Park is located next to the original Lego factory and Denmark's second busiest airport Billund Airport. 1.6 million guests visited the park in 2007 and over the years more than 40 million guests have been through the park. This makes it the largest tourist attraction in Denmark outside of Copenhagen. The Legoland parks that have since been built around the world, are modelled upon Legoland Billund, most noticeably the Miniland area, which serves as the heart of the park. (

Billund is located 220 km west of Copenhagen.
When we arrived to Copenhagen directly from Montréal, we stayed at the 71 Nyhavn Hotel on Nyhavn Quay (see our picture of the real life Nyhavn Quay).
