Little Mermaid (Lille Havrue)
Closest Hotels to Little Mermaid (Lille Havrue):
Denmark’s most famous cultural symbol comes from a tale told by its most renowned poet, Hans Christian Andersen. In his story the youngest daughter of the Sea King rescues a drowning prince and falls in love, but in the end gets turned into sea foam. The idea for the statue originated in 1909 when brewer Carl Jacobsen saw the ballet version of the Little Mermaid and was so impressed that he commissioned sculptor Edvard Eriksen to create a bronze statue on Copenhagen’s waterfront. Eriksen modelled the mermaid on his wife and she is now Copenhagen’s most famous symbol as she stares dreamily across the water from Langelinie.
