   Kongens Nytorv

   Metro at the eastern end of Strøget — M1/M2/M3/M4 all stop here. Walk north on *Bredgade* through the eighteenth-century noble palaces (the warm-up); *Marmorkirken*'s dome is the landmark to aim for, roughly ten minutes.

   Marmorkirken back side

   The Marble Church's back-side view is the one Nyboder residents see most often. The dome rises above the rooftops with no axial composition — just there, the largest dome in Scandinavia, framed by the yellow walls of the surrounding streets.

   St. Pauls Plads + St. Pauls Kirke

   The square that gives Nyboder its parish church. *St. Pauls Kirke* (1877) is the modest red-brick spiritual centre of the neighbourhood; *St. Pauls Plads* in front is where the 1A bus drops you if you skip the *Bredgade* walk-up.

   Sankt Pauls Gade

   The canonical Nyboder row. Christian IV's 1631 yellow rebuilt and repainted across the centuries (the original was built in different colours — the all-yellow Nyboder is a 19th-c standardisation). Walk slowly. The streets are residential; private back gardens behind; no traffic to speak of.

   Nyboder Mindestuer

   Number 20 *Sankt Pauls Gade*. One of the original Nyboder houses preserved as a 19th-c sailor's home — kitchen, parlour, bed-recess — exactly as a family of six would have lived. Small entry fee, intermittent hours; check before going.

   Walk north-east through *Kronprinsessegade* and the streets around it; the row houses give way to 19th-c apartment blocks before the harbour opens at *Esplanaden*. *Østerport* S-tog is the closing stop — also served by M3 Cityringen.
