Maximize Your Long Layover in Copenhagen

Copenhagen is an excellent city to explore during a layover. With just 8 hours, one can visit Nyhavn’s picturesque waterfront, Amalienborg Palace for royal sights, and the Little Mermaid statue along the scenic Langelinie. A taste of local smørrebrød and Carlsberg completes the experience before returning to the airport, feeling inspired.

Visit the Little Mermaid: A Must-See in Copenhagen

During a trip to Copenhagen, I visited the iconic Little Mermaid statue at Langelinie Pier. Although smaller than expected, it captures the essence of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale. Unveiled in 1913, it symbolizes love and sacrifice. The statue has faced challenges but remains a must-see for tourists, evoking deep reflections.
