Snap a Selfie with The Little Mermaid
No visit to Copenhagen would be complete without seeing The Little Mermaid, the world-renowned symbol of the city. Perched on a rock by the waterside along the Langelinie promenade, this iconic statue inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale remains one of the city's most-photographed attractions.
