The Little Mermaid Review

We were at the Langelinie promenade in Copenhagen, Denmark. On the walk to the Little Mermaid, there’s a view of the sea and the ships in the water. There were also tourist boats going back and forth from different points of interest. I saw a trail of smoke across the sea behind a few buildings, so I’m guessing those were factories across the water. The overall scenery and surrounding of The Little Mermaid wasn’t amazing, but wasn’t bad.

The place around The Little Mermaid where everyone walks around and takes pictures is a relaxing place to be. There were benches to sit on and railings to lean on and take in the view. There’s also sometimes stands where you can buy cheap or expensive tourist items to remember your trip. The people working them are looked normal and not weird. The items I saw they were selling are not interesting, and I personally wouldn’t buy them. There’s also tourist guides and the tour guide workers seem to be friendly from what I saw.

The statue itself is pretty dull and boring in my opinion, and I don’t know what’s so special about it. It’s made out of bronze and is held up on two or three rocks on the edge of the ocean water facing the land. The statue by the name, is obviously a mermaid woman laying down on some rocks. It’s apparently 1.25 meters tall and weighs 175 kilograms. I think Edvard Eriksen the creator of the statue did a good job, but it doesn’t interest me.

Overall, I would say the trip to this location is worth it if you’re interested in historical destinations or landmarks, but for it was underwhelming and not very engaging or exciting. It’s a decent place to be and you can take some nice pictures there as well. It wasn’t a bad experience, but I would rather spend my time elsewhere in Copenhagen.
