Copenhagen: Little Mermaid Fairy Tale Quest

About this activity

A mysterious voice calls your name through Copenhagen. Follow it from the Royal Danish Theatre through Nyhavn's canal houses to the Little Mermaid statue at the harbour. This self-guided fairy tale quest weaves Andersen's famous story into a real city adventure.

Solve 11 puzzles at iconic landmarks. Decode a palace password at Amalienborg, meet Agnete rising from the canal, and return the Little Mermaid's voice at the harbour.
