Which city's harbor holds the statue of the Little Mermaid?

Copenhagen, and visitors are almost universally disappointed - it is about 1.25 metres tall, sits on a rock a few metres from a working harbour path, and is smaller than nearly everyone expects. It is regularly listed among the world's most underwhelming tourist attractions and receives millions of visitors anyway.

It has been repeatedly attacked. It has been decapitated at least twice, lost an arm, been blown off its rock with explosives, and been painted various colours in political protests over whaling, the EU and Danish immigration policy. The head has been replaced, and the original head from the first decapitation in 1964 has never been recovered.

Andersen's story is much darker than the version most people know. The mermaid's transformation is agonising - every step feels like walking on knives - she loses her voice permanently, the prince marries someone else, and she is offered the chance to save herself by killing him and refuses, dissolving into sea foam. He wrote it in 1837, apparently around the time a man he was in love with became engaged to a woman, and the story reads rather differently with that alongside it.
