The Little Mermaid
🇩🇰 Copenhagen · Landmark
She's small. She's far. There's a tour-bus crowd photographing her back. The Little Mermaid is the textbook expectation-gap attraction — reviews average 'nice statue, why did I cross the city for this'. If you're already walking the Kastellet ramparts (lovely, free), swing past. As a destination? The internet's verdict is clear.

Heavily marketed to tourists; reviews flag inflated prices.
🕐 Best time: Before 9am if at all — tour buses arrive by 9:30
💡 Local tip: Fold her into a Kastellet + harbour walk and she's a pleasant 90 seconds. Special trip by bus: don't. The Genetically Modified Mermaid 400m north gets you the joke version with no crowd.
