The Mermaid statue was unveiled on 23 August 1913, as a gift from Danish brewer Carl Jacobsen to the City of Copenhagen. Carl’s father, Jacob Jacobsen was the founder of the Carlsberg brewery in Valby - and yes, the brewery was named after his son.
While no public transport stops directly at The Little Mermaid, the nicest way to get to the statue is to walk from the nearby Marmorkirke metro station which is around 1km to the south.
The easiest way from Copenhagen Airport to The Little Mermaid is to take the train from the airport (direction Helsingør), get off at Østerport station, and from here hop on the bus 27 mentioned above (included in the ticket price) or a ten-minute walk.
Alternatively, take the metro from the airport, change at Kongens Nytorv to Metro line 3 or 4, then walk from either Marmorkirken or Østerport.

If you want to travel by the Metro, it’s an easy ride of only 13 minutes to Kongens Nytorv. Here you can change to metro line M3, which opened in 2019. It’s a line with 17 stops around the city, all connected by the metro, forming a circle. One trip around the circle takes 28 minutes, and even if you are “going in the wrong direction” you’ll end up at your destination in a short time.
