Tivoli Gardens
About
Tivoli Gardens, located in the heart of Copenhagen, is Denmark’s second‑oldest amusement park and a cultural landmark that blends historic charm with contemporary excitement. Since its opening in 1843, the park has offered a wide range of attractions – from the original wooden roller‑coaster Rutschebanen to modern rides such as the 80‑metre Star Flyer. Between the rides, visitors can stroll through beautifully landscaped gardens that bloom every spring, savour cuisine at the Tivoli Food Hall, experience the Japanese Pagoda, or relax by Tivoli Lake. During the summer months the open‑air ‘Friday Rock’ concerts and ‘Saturday Hits’ provide a lively soundtrack for families and music lovers alike, while the winter season transforms the park into a magical Christmas Wonderland complete with festive lights, concerts and fireworks. Whether you’re a thrill‑seeker craving high‑speed attractions, a history enthusiast intrigued by the park’s 19th‑century design, or simply looking for a full‑day adventure that mixes culture, nature and entertainment, Tivoli Gardens offers an unforgettable experience that appeals to all ages. The park remains open year‑round, with 255 days of shows and special events, making it a must‑visit destination for both locals and visitors to Copenhagen.
