The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid is Copenhagen's most iconic statue, a 1913 bronze figure inspired by H.C. Andersen's fairy tale, sitting on a rock at the Langelinie promenade.
Square & Landmark

Nyhavn
Nyhavn is Copenhagen's most photogenic canal, lined with colourful 17th-century townhouses, cafés and boats — a favourite stroll of H.C. Andersen.
Castle & Fortress

Rosenborg Castle
Rosenborg Castle sits in the heart of Copenhagen, ringed by the moat and flower beds of the King's Garden. King Christian IV built it as a summer residence between 1606 and 1634, and the Dutch Renaissance brickwork and copper spires make it the city's most romantic royal building. Inside, the rooms remain furnished as a 17th-century palace, hung with tapestries and portraits. The basement vaults guard Denmark's crown jewels and royal regalia, among them the spectacular crown of Christian IV. A short walk from the castle brings you to the Strøget shopping street.
Castle & Fortress

Tivoli Gardens
Tivoli Gardens, opened in 1843, is one of the world's oldest amusement parks, blending romantic gardens, fairy lights, wooden coasters and nightly fireworks.
