A quite literal little mermaid, supposedly one of Denmark's biggest tourist attractions. When there, I recommend seeing "Kastellet" and "St. Alban's Church" as well.

Decapitated and undecapitated again. She is smaller than you think. There is outlet shopping nearby.

The statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen harbor is one of the top must-see sights in Denmark. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to get here, as only once a visitor has seen this rather small statue is it obvious that not having seen her at all would not really condemn any visit to the Danish capital as a failure. It tends to get very busy at the Little Mermaid but visitors arrive, see, take a photo and leave fairly quickly, although during the high season buses spew out new tour groups every few minutes.

The Little Mermaid is a statue depicting a mermaid. Based on the fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen, the small, unimposing statue is a Copenhagen icon and has been a major attraction since 1913. It has become a popular target for defacement by vandals and political activists.
