I'm coming to Copenhagen this July, thanks for such an informative video. I've been here before but I wanna find something new this time, haha

Loving your videos, thankyou sir. We're visiting Copenhagen next weekend and I feel like a local already 🙂

Thanks mate, that’s great to hear 🙌

when i went to Copenhagen i decided to go up into the christiansborg palace tower instead of the round tower and i´m glad i did the views where amazing and you could see above the fence and it was even free. So i would personally consider the round tower a tourist trap as well considering there´s a much better option:)

Haha, I see what you did there 😀 And the tip on Christiansborg Palace Tower is very good! However, I can't really recommend it myself as I went there a year ago when I was researching for my 'things to do in Copenhagen' guide, and I was showing a friend from the UK around. It was truly a dreadful experience of waiting for ages only to be treated like an inconvenience by the most unfriendly staff I've ever encountered... The view is excellent, though.

Agree. But I love a walk along Larsens Plads and Ofelia Plads and do it every morning when I'm staying at the Admiral.

The Admiral is wonderful. I stay there every time I am in Copenhagen, which is usually at least twice each year. Rooms great, food excellent, and staff first-class (in fact the waiters in SALT have become friends over the years). Gud bevare kongen etc etc.

Your videos have been very helpful, thanks! Do you have any tips to buy a DATA SIM card in Copenhagen?

I agree with your list and opinion about the city. For the mermaid - I always joke that the little mermaid is more little than mermaid :) For a great view of Copenhagen I would always recommend people to go to a or Vor Frelsers kirke in Christinashavn. I think the view from there is much better than the round tower.

I did not find Lille Havfrue a scam. In summer it always made a nice stroll. Actually long time ago it inspired my wife to write a story about problems that face immigrants in Denmark. And a few hundred metres from that classical statue you can find the "Genetically Modified Little Mermaid".

the marble church is a copy of san pietro in rome

Ай бұрын

Brought what back? 😀

Since it was our first time in Copenhagen we wanted to see the Little Mermaid, even though we knew it was overrated as an attraction. What made it easier is that we biked from our hotel in Nyhavn to the Little Mermaid Statue. Took far less time, even with stopping at the Anglican church and fountain you showed in your video for a few pictures it took less than half the time there. Made the experience more bearable. The statue is very underwhelming, crowded with many rude tourists. Take some photos spend about 5 minutes there then off you go. I would say if its your first time in Copenhagen go by bike if you can/physically able, have someone drive you, or take a bus, walking there is not fun. Either way make sure to see the fortress while you are there, that's amazing.

the thing is all that you show esxept from the round tower -the Citadel, Gefion fountain, the English church, Frederiks church, Amalienborg and he Harbour is on the way to the little mermaid, so people should go there but see the route as the main attraction and go two different routesto and from the statue to see it all -the statue is mostly about the story not only the Hans Christian Andersen sory but how the mermaid have lost her head ect. more than once

Thanks for the comment, but I disagree with you on this one - it's a big detour if you'd visit Kongens Have, Rosenborg Slot, Marmorkirken, and Amalienborg to or from The Mermaid.

I like to walk and the little mermaid is free, will go there for sure when i visit Denmark and enjoy the hopefully good weather

I dont know if I would call the little mermaid a scam. For me just not that interesting. I am danish, born in Copenhagen, lived there 40 of my 60 years and never felt the urge to go see it. Rest of the tour is what it says... A tour of Copenhagen, a little, very little taster of what it is like in this fantastic, medeval "town". It really is hard to describe the vibe, you have to feel it for yourself, and there is no chance, again in my opinion, that you will be disappointed with a walk of Copenhagen and its Inner City.... Its gorgeous....

You are being too harsh, nothing wrong with the statue it's free to see its just a bit small. The only time I was disappointed in Copenhagen was in 2015, I convinced my parents to visit with me. My dad checked on Tripadvisor for the best Italian in CPH and it suggested somewhere near Norrebro, we went it didn't sell pizzas, how come an Italian doesn't sell pizzas? We were in the metro station heading back and there was an old women in her underwear screaming at everyone on the platform, we still talk about that night today, it just made it feel more like the UK.🤣

And it`s a thing that you can see for Free. So naahhh, it Isnt a scam.

I don't get why people get surprised when they find out that the LITTLE mermaid is LITTLE. Its name isn't The Huge and Enormous Mermaid.

I don't think The Little Mermaid is a scam... exactly? It's just... way overhyped for what it is. Which is a small sentimental statue.

@destinationwellknown Is Jūratė's lamentation For Kastytis, her sweet lover, And her palace lost forever, Ruined by the god's damnation. The Lithuanian girl today Wishing her boy to stare with wonder Likes sometimes in her charming way To deck herself with beads of amber. But when a song of love she sings, As sad as a lament it rings. When concealing Her sweet feeling She can find no word to utter, Yet she loves with deep emotion, Sometimes stormy as an ocean, Like the legendized Jūratė.
