Denmark>Copenhagen>Magical Copenhagen: Little Mermaid

Magical Copenhagen: Little Mermaid

You have just arrived in Copenhagen to meet your grandmother for the first time. But she has not come to greet you.

Instead, a beautiful voice begins calling your name through the city streets, leading you from one enchanted location to the next.

This magical walking tour of Copenhagen weaves together Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid with real locations and old Norse legends, taking you from the Royal Danish Theatre and the colourful canal houses of Nyhavn to the Round Tower, Amalienborg Palace, and finally the Little Mermaid statue herself at the harbour.

Perfect for families, children, and anyone who wants to explore Copenhagen through fairy tale eyes, this quest tells an original story built around the city's most beloved landmarks.

Solve puzzles, meet enchanted creatures, and follow the trail of white pearls to a surprise ending.

One of the most charming things to do in Copenhagen with kids, and just as magical for grown-ups who have not forgotten how to wonder.

The mission: Your story in Copenhagen

You have never believed in fairy tales.

But you have just arrived in Copenhagen to meet your grandmother for the very first time, and she has not come to meet you.

Instead, she left you a gift: a necklace made of small white pearls, wrapped in paper, with a note that said it would guide you home.

Now, walking through the city, you hear a voice. A strange, beautiful voice that seems to know your name.

You start to follow it. And the further you walk, the more you wonder whether your grandmother's fairy tales were never really just stories.
