The Little Mermaid (Den lille Havfrue)
Mejor época para visitar
Late afternoon on a sunny weekday offers softer light for photos and thinner crowds. Early morning visits before 9 am let you enjoy the statue in near solitude.
Consejos para el presupuesto
Visiting the statue is completely free, as she sits on public rocks with no entry fee or ticket required. The nearby cruise boats and hop-on-hop-off buses offer combined city tours that include a stop here.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Perched on a granite boulder in Copenhagen's harbor, this 1.25-meter-tall bronze figure has been gently weathering Danish sea air since 1913. More than 1 million people visit her each year, making her one of the most photographed statues in the world despite her surprisingly small size.
Destacados: Her head was once stolen by activists in 1964 and later recovered from a nearby lake, and vandals have sawed off her arm twice. Each incident added a new chapter to her story, making her less a pristine monument and more a scrappy survivor of Copenhagen's recent history.
Consejos de expertos
- Walk 5 minutes west along Langelinie promenade for a quieter angle with the harbor and cruise ships in the background.
- Visit just before sunset when the low golden light hits the bronze face and the crowds thin out significantly.
- Skip the summer weekends entirely if you want a photo without strangers in the frame: go on a rainy weekday instead.
- Bring your own zoom lens or use your phone's telephoto setting from the bridge 20 meters away for a better perspective.
