Tivoli Gardens amusement park in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a must for all visitors to the city, young and old. Tivoli is located just a few minutes’ walk from City Hall, and with the Copenhagen Central Station as its nearest neighbor, it is very easy to get to.
Tivoli Gardens was founded in 1843 and has become a national treasure and an international attraction. Tivoli Gardens’ secret is that there is something for everyone. The scenery is beautiful with unusual architecture, historic buildings and beautiful gardens. At night, thousands of colored lights create a fairy tale atmosphere that is completely unique.
The rides are all designed to match Tivoli’s architecture and gardens. Some rides will remind you of the good old days. Others will match the expectations of those thrill seekers, e.g. the Vertigo which will turn you upside down at 100 km/h and was voted Europe’s Best Ride in 2014.
Tivoli’s oldest and most popular ride, the wooden Roller Coaster from 1914, is one of the only seven roller coasters worldwide which have a brakeman on board every train.
In 2017, Tivoli got a new VR(virtual reality) experience in the Demon, where the rollercoaster passengers are brought on a journey through a Chinese universe with fire-spitting dragons and exploding fireworks.
The music program in Tivoli has exciting events to offer every year regardless of your age or preferences. Besides major events such as Friday Rock and Summer Classical, there’s live music every single day. Tivoli’s Summer Classical offers excellent classical music. They’ll serve up everything from James Bond music to Mozart and operetta.
When it comes to food, Tivoli is equally diverse. Lots of people will bring a picnic to the garden, but you can also choose from Tivoli’s broad selection of restaurants. You’ll find everything from traditional Danish cuisine to French bistro or Asian food.
