There were two points of interest that we were advised to visit whilst we were in Copenhagen, The Tivoli Gardens and The Little Mermaid. 
Our hotel receptionist was very helpful and suggested we bought a hop on hop off bus ticket. So we did and found a bus going in the right direction. After a couple of hours riding around the suburbs of Copenhagen, several changes of bus and a long walk we found the Little Mermaid. 
Like all tourist attractions it was busy, although notices ask visitors not to climb on the statue, whilst we were there people were climbing onto it to get their picture taken. We managed to get a photograph when there was a change over of people. We then headed for the Tivoli gardens and found they were closed for winter refurbishment. 
I also wanted to see the iconic view of Copenhagen where there are colourful houses by a canal. I looked at postcards and discovered it was a place called Nyhavn, so off we went in search of it. 
Nyhavn was a very attractive area and we stopped for a drink to absorb the atmosphere. We were entertained by Dutch football fans singing their songs. It was an amazing sound resounding around the square. 
Copenhagen has many quirky streets, we liked it as a general city but don’t feel the need to make a return visit. I suppose I had a romantic vision of “wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen” as in the song but in reality it wasn’t like that. 
So off to the train station to see another city.
