Hear the story behind The Little Mermaid as you stand by the iconic statue, discover how the Royal Danish Theatre inspired The Ugly Duckling, and wander the colorful harbor where Andersen once lived and wrote. Step into hidden corners — including a preserved room tucked away inside a department store — that offer a rare glimpse into his world. This two-hour experience is not just about landmarks, but about bringing Andersen’s tales to life. Through your guide’s storytelling, you’ll gain insight into the man behind the myths, the city that fueled his imagination, and why his words continue to enchant readers across the globe.

About Copenhagen
Copenhagen is Denmark's harbour capital, a low-rise city of canals, royal palaces, bicycles, pastries and a pleasure garden in the middle of town.
Copenhagen spreads across the islands of Zealand and Amager, with harbours and canals shaping the centre. Nyhavn, a seventeenth-century canal lined with coloured houses and old ships, is the classic view. Amalienborg Palace, the royal family's residence, stands on a square near the water, Rosenborg Castle holds the crown jewels, and Tivoli Gardens, open since 1843, mixes flowers, rides and concerts beside the train station.
Top-ranked sights in Copenhagen: Christiansborg Palace (Christiansborg Slot), Nyhavn, Amalienborg Palace.
