10 Tourist Places Around the World That Might Disappoint You in Real Life

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen is a tribute to Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairy tale, but many visitors are left unimpressed. The statue is only 4 feet tall and is perched on a rock by the harbor, often surrounded by crowds of tourists. The industrial setting, with factories visible in the background, doesn’t provide the romantic ambiance many expect.

Why It Might Disappoint:

• The statue is much smaller than most people expect.
• The industrial surroundings detract from its charm.
