The Little Mermaid Statue: One of the World's Top Three Disappointing Attractions

The three most commonly mentioned disappointing tourist attractions in the world are the Merlion (Singapore), Manneken Pis (Brussels), and the Little Mermaid Statue (Copenhagen). Among these, the one that felt the least impressive was this one 😂. It sits quietly near the Kastellet Fortress along the Langelinie Promenade, and you'll easily spot it thanks to the crowd of people gathered around! While sunny days are nice, foggy days add a special atmosphere, almost as if reflecting Andersen's story of the Little Mermaid 📕. It's about a 25-minute walk from Nyhavn, so we recommend enjoying the cityscape as you stroll over!

Copenhagen in December is pure hygge magic 🧣✨: fairy-tale harbors, legendary mermaids, and Christmas markets lit in gold. Here’s the must-see sweep if you want those real Danish winter vibes! Top Spots to Visit: 🧜♀️ The Little Mermaid (Langelinie, 2100 København Ø) – Swing by the iconic sculpture, open all day, any season. Pro tip: Arrive early if you want that solitary Insta moment. 🎄 Christmas Market Højbro Plads – This cozy explosion of twinkle lights and holiday magic is right at the heart of the city. Grab warm gløgg and shop for local treats! 🌈 New Harbor (Nyhavn, Indre By) – The storybook canal with rainbow facades shines brightest near Christmas. Try a morning stroll for crowd-free photos, then come back after sunset for extra sparkle. 🏰 Kastellet (Gl. Hovedvagt, Kastellet 1, 2100 København) – This star-shaped fortress is a peaceful walk in winter (open 6:00–20:00). The ramparts give you killer views of both city and sea—perfect for a brisk December walk after market sweets. Quick Tips: Bundle up! The wind by the harbor is no joke in December. Bring cash for smaller Christmas market vendors. Try traditional Danish pastries at the markets—especially æbleskiver! Transport: Use Copenhagen’s Metro and buses for easy travel between spots. Buy a City Pass for unlimited rides. Weather: Expect chilly temps and possible drizzle, so dress warm and waterproof. Food Recs: Cozy up at Nyhavn’s historic cafés for smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches) and Scandinavian mulled wine. #CopenhagenChristmas #NyhavnVibes #ScandiWinter #Tripcom #HolidayWander
