Explore The Little Mermaid

Your tour stops at The Little Mermaid where visitors can see this iconic statue that has stood since 1913 and is located on Langelinje Pier, a small promenade in Copenhagen. At 1.25 meters tall, the bronze sculpture was created by Edvard Eriksen based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale. The statue attracts millions of visitors each year but remains relatively unchanged from its original design. Guests spend about 10-15 minutes here to take photos and learn about its cultural significance; it is unique compared to other statues because of its connection to Danish literature and folklore, making it a must-see for anyone visiting Copenhagen.

Experience Amalienborg Palace

At Amalienborg Palace, guests can explore the historic royal residence that was established in 1750 when King Christian VII moved his court there. The palace complex covers an area of about 20,000 square meters and consists of four identical buildings designed by architect Nicolai Eigtved. Each building houses a different Danish monarch’s family; currently, three of the palaces are used as residences for members of the Danish royal family. Visitors typically spend around 30 minutes here to admire its grand architecture and learn about the royal history. The palace is unique due to its symmetrical design and historical importance in Danish monarchy.

Discover Operaen

Your tour takes you past Operaen, a modern cultural venue that opened in 1986 as part of Copenhagen’s vibrant arts scene. Located on the waterfront near Christianshavn, Operaen has a seating capacity for approximately 1,400 people and features state-of-the-art acoustics designed by Artec Consultants Inc.
