Kastellet (The Copenhagen Citadel)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Kastellet is one of the best-preserved fortifications in the city of Copenhagen. The structure is in the shape of a five-pointed star, with bastions at its points. In addition to military facilities, it houses a church and a windmill.
Although the Kastellet is still used by the Danish military, it now primarily serves as a destination for excursions and a local recreation area. It is located in the northeast of the city not far from Østerport station and is served by bus lines 15, 19, 26, and 1A.
Admission is free; the Kastellet is open daily from 6 a.m. until sunset. The grounds include a natural park, which is also extensively used by the residents of Copenhagen and is home to numerous animals.
Two smaller museums are also located within the complex. A military ceremony for the changing of the guard takes place daily at 12 p.m. In the summer, concerts with military music are held at 2 p.m., which are also worth attending.

The Little Mermaid

Highlight • Monument

The Little Mermaid brings together the two most famous Danish exports: Hans Christian Andersen and the Carlsberg brewery. The sculpture is based on the fairy tale of the same name by the beloved Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen. However, the erection of the sculpture was prompted by art lover Carl Jacobsen. He hired Danish sculptor Edvard Eriksen to design The Little Mermaid. Cast in bronze, the sculpture, with the head modeled after prima ballerina Ellen Price, was completed in August 1913. Incidentally, the imposing Gefion Fountain, not far from the bronze sculpture, was also commissioned by Carl Jacobsen
