It is over course nice to have walked by the statue of H C Andersen, but I am not sure that walking extra steps for seeing it would have been worth it. It is a fairly "ordinary" statue in bronze and it won't take your breath away. Sure, if you are a HC Andersen fan it migth be worth it. More

If you have time to stroll through Copenhagen, definitely go through Kong's Have (King's Garden), and see the statue to H.C. Andersen, who is beloved by Danes!!!! More
