Locals love to meet here and enjoy a tasty coffee or cold beer while relaxing on the banks that litter the edges of the bridge.
The other Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid, the iconic bronze statue created by Danish-Icelandic sculptor Edvard Eriksen, is one of the most visited attractions in all of Denmark.
Blue Planet. The gigantic aquarium that is home to over 20,000 species of marine and ocean creatures, including hammerhead sharks, sea lions and piranhas, is one of the city’s biggest attractions, though not many foreigners have yet learned of its existence. With a spectacular vortex-like architecture, inspired by the circulating currents of a jacuzzi, the Blue Planet was inaugurated in 2013 to replace the old national aquarium of the 1930s. Futuristic, with ambient music in every room and with blue lights swinging. In creating an underwater feeling, the fascinating Blue Planet aquarium is definitely worth a visit even if you are not passionate about marine life.
