Travel Guide
The Little Mermaid, or Den lille havfrue in Danish (if you are reading the local map or signboard), is a bronze mermaid statue found along the shore of Copenhagen harbour. The statue was commissioned in 1909 by Carl Jacobsen, son of the founder of Carlsberg brewery. It is another touristic popular and cultural iconic bronze sculpture after the Manneken Pis of Brussels.
Both Little Mermaid and Manneken Pis have their similarities. Both are sculpture made of bronze, naked, not as big in size as many may expect, and both are not the original piece on display.
The Little Mermaid is a 4 Feet tall half naked lady half fish statue, posing as a sitting mermaid overlooking the harbour of Copenhagen.
It is also not gated as the Manneken Pis, albeit being better isolated from the rest of other things. She sits on top of stacks of rocks. Some adventurous visitors even climbed up the rock to snap a photo with it.
Eventhough the Little Mermaid is just a bronze statue, huge crowds and visitors are flocking in everyday to view it in person, or snap photos of it. As shown in the above photo, tourist cruises are also dropping by off the shore.
Being one of the top travel destinations in Copenhagen, albeit a bit of a disappointment viewing it in actual, the Little Mermaid is still a significant cultural icon of Copenhagen and Denmark. Where would you think of when you spot the image of this gorgeous naked mermaid? Copenhagen! If you wish to visit them all in person like what I did on my last year’s trip, act fast and plan for your own vacation to Europe this Summer!
