The Little Mermaid is one of Copenhagen’s best-known landmarks, though it is often associated with wider harbor sightseeing from Christianshavn and beyond. Created by sculptor Edvard Eriksen and unveiled in 1913, the bronze statue was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairytale. Perched quietly on a rock at Langelinie, the figure became an enduring symbol of the city through its modest scale and reflective mood rather than monumental size. Its waterfront setting adds to its appeal, linking Copenhagen’s literary heritage with its maritime identity. More than a photo stop, the statue represents a lasting cultural connection between Danish storytelling, public art, and the city’s image around the world.
Before you enter
- Wear comfortable shoes if walking from central Copenhagen or Christianshavn along the waterfront.
- Check the weather forecast; the exposed harborfront can feel windy even on mild days.
- Bring a camera with a zoom lens for closer photos from the path.
- Visit early in the day for clearer photos and fewer people around the rock.
What to expect
- Expect a small bronze statue rather than a large monument.
- The setting is open-air, right beside the harbor at Langelinie.
- Photo opportunities include the statue, waterfront, and passing harbor views.
- Most visitors spend a short time here, often as part of a longer waterfront walk.
During your visit
- Stay on marked paths and rocks carefully; surfaces may be slippery near the water.
- Be patient if others are taking photos; space around the viewpoint is limited.
- Look beyond the statue to enjoy the harbor atmosphere and shoreline scenery.
- Combine your stop with a relaxed walk along Langelinie for the best experience.
