On the exterior front of the City Hall are large polar bears that symbolize Greenland, which is still a protectorate of Denmark.
Before starting a stroll down the pedestrian mall of Stroget, look at the top of the "Philips" building on the opposite side of City Hall square. The golden weather girls used to tell the weather before the mechanism broke. One girl on a bicycle would rotate to the front when it was sunny, and the second girl with an umbrella would rotate to the front when it was rainy. Today the statue is permanently stuck half way in between!
