Mermaid

Table of Contents

Top 10 Musts

  • Little Mermaid (quick)
  • Amalienborg (royal square)
  • Christiansborg (tower views)
  • National Museum (rainy-day hero)
  • Tivoli (night lights)
  • Nyhavn (photos + cruise)
  • City Hall (orientation)
  • Designmuseum (Danish design)
  • SMK (art)
  • Waterfront architecture (modern vibes)

Pairing Strategy

  • Mermaid + Amalienborg + Nyhavn = waterfront trio
  • Christiansborg + National Museum = history block
  • Tivoli = evening finale

Timing & Light

Tip: Put palaces in the afternoon for softer light.

  • Nyhavn morning/late afternoon for gentle colors
  • Mermaid early for fewer crowds

Energy Management

  • Alternate standing (palaces) with seated HOHO loops
  • Keep snacks handy to avoid energy dips

Bottom Line

Use the bus as a transport scaffold; layer attractions by energy & weather.
