Tivoli is an amusement park in the centre of Copenhagen, Denmark, at Tietgensgade 1704. It opened in 1843, which makes it one of the oldest parks of its kind still in operation, and it remains one of the best-known in the world.
What a visit offers
The park brings together several things in one place:
- Rides, from gentle options for younger visitors to more thrilling ones for those who want a bigger drop.
- Gardens laid out around the park, which give it a calm, green side between the attractions.
- Live entertainment, staged across the grounds.
- A range of restaurants, so you can eat during the day or stay on into the evening.
The atmosphere
Many visitors describe Tivoli as having a fairy-tale feel, and it is easy to see why. The lights, gardens and older buildings give the park a distinct character that differs from more modern theme parks. It suits a relaxed afternoon as much as a day of rides.
Because it sits in the heart of the city, Tivoli is also easy to combine with a walk through central Copenhagen, where you can explore the surrounding streets, squares and shops before or after your time in the park.
