4. Little Mermaid Statue

COPENHAGEN.   Completed in 1913 by sculptor Edvard Eriksen, this statue was sponsored by ballet enthusiast Carl Jacobsen, who was fond of Hans Christian Andersen's story, "The Little Mermaid." Jacobsen requested that Eriksen place the finished sculpture by the water to showcase its appeal. Nearly a century old, the famous statue has endured considerable damage and vandalism through the years, but restoration projects manage to preserve its original beauty.   (© 10Best)

To stand so close to a landmark (seems like you could almost reach out and touch her, she's so close to the shore) is a little awe inspiring---all those years of seeing her in photos and then all of a sudden, there she is.
