This statue greeted us as we left the ship

The first stop for most of the tours is the Little Mermaid statue at the edge of the harbor.  One needed to photograph it later on in the afternoon after to tours had mostly left.

The Little Mermaid

St Alban's church or as the locals call it the "English Church" was built in 1885

In Norse mythology, this fountain statue of the goddess Gefion depicts her plowing out as much land as she could in one night, using her four sons that have been transformed into bulls. For her reward at this feat, the king of Sweden gave her the island of Sjaelland, the largest island of Denmark, and the one on which Copenhagen is located.

Frederik's Church, popularly known as the Marble Church has the largest church dome in Scandinavia.

Our ship, The Voyager, docked in Copenhagen.

Trekroner Fort at the entrance to the harbor.  It was an active part of Copenhagen's fortification from the 1713 until after World War I.  It's a man-made island formed when three old line ships were sunk to form the basis for a battery. One of the ships was called Trekroner, and she gave her name to the fort.
