We had the opportunity to see the Little Mermaid statue at Langeline Harbor from the behind on a canal cruise before seeing it from the front. It really appeared to look rather "small" from our cruise boat. Even though I have seen the Little Mermaid statue before, I did not realize how small it really is but nevertheless, it is an iconic statue that most visitors that come to Copenhagen do venture out to see. It is worth the long walk from Newhavn - around 30 min. one way as it is all level and straightforward. You will know when you have arrived as you will see a huge flock of people admiring it. You can walk down to the surrounding rocks to be photographed with it.

It is something to do whilst in Copenhagen. lovely walk along the sea and a nice park behind the mermaid itself. The statue itself is a little underwhelming but doesn't stop hordes of people taking a photo. only problem, if you go off season everything is shut so you cant get a coffee anywhere.

After our canal cruise ended at Toldbodgade, we took a stroll down the Park to the seafront .To see the little mermaid, the Icon of Copenhagen is surely a must !!! The Park has statues , toilets and seating benches for visitors to relax & the Kastellet Fortress is nearby. There were lots of tourists, visitors crowding infront the Little Mermaid , taking photos and videos. It is not easy to get a good focus but we managed to snap some ! Indeed she is very little , and as the story goes..she is still sitting there waiting to meet her Prince. Happy we got to see her !!

It is what it is. Mention Copenhagen and most people know of the Little Mermaid so I felt compelled to visit. Having read some reviews before travelling I was expecting large crowds at the statue however I was pleasantly surprised to find a small group of visitors when I arrived, which made getting those important photos so much easier. I walked to the statue from Nyhavn, and it took around 20-25 minutes. There is another metro station closer to the statue if that walk sounds too excessive. I’m glad I visited but not sure I would go out of my way to see it again should I ever return to the city.

We walked from Copenhagen and take about 25 mins from Nyhavn. Timed well as got there just before the hop on and off bus tour. Need 5 mins max here so that was disappointing from an interest perspective but is a must see of Copenhagen

Seeing the Little Mermaid has been on my bucket list for years, so I was thrilled to get to see her. A bit crowded but easy to take some photos if you are a little patient. Lovely walk through the park to get to her. I expected her to be very small given that so many are remarking on it - she’s not small, she’s the life size (same size as an adult human). A must see on a trip to Copenhagen!

Lots of Cities across the World have iconic statues or buildings that are classed as a must see ! Usually hyped up by the cities tourist board to attract visitors! Buckingham Palace in London! It's just a big house that people want to see so they can say they been there! Likewise the Statue of Liberty in New York or The Arc de Triomphe in Paris to name others! In my opinion The Little Mermaid Statue in Copenhagen falls in this same bracket! If it's your first time in Copenhagen then you will go and see it, it's what we as tourists do! But don't expect to be blown away by it's architecture or grandeur. It's a small statue on a rock in the water! After a few minutes you will be heading back to the city centre.

We managed to see this sculpture on our last day. It’s a lot smaller than we expected but still worth a visit. It was a little bit out of the way from where we were staying hence why we went on our last day. Not saying don’t visit but wouldn’t say you HAVE to see it either. Lots of tourists as well so it takes time to get a decent photo. It does have a nice story to it though.

The first thing that should be pointed out is to pay attention to the name, it's the LITTLE mermaid, so don't expect it to be big. It's still something you should visit if you are in the city, especially if you either arrive or continue walking via the coastline. Just consider that it'll be windy, and crossing a line regarding comments I usually don't, please be respectful of others when taking your pictures of it

We went to see it just because it is well known but don't be expecting anything 'wow'. It is only a small statue of a mermaid. If you're in the area it's a nice walk around the park and grounds but it's not worth going out of your way to see.
