A veritable national treasure, this fairytale theme park opened in 1843 and features beautifully landscaped gardens, fairground stalls, bandstands, theatres and plenty of amusement park rides. Perfect for kids (and big kids), it’s especially magical on a summer’s evening when illuminations twinkle and fireworks explode overhead.

It’s also interesting historically, thanks to the many well-maintained period buildings, such as the Chinese-style open-air Pantomime Theatre dating from 1874. Every visitor should take a ride on the iconic Rutschebanen (rollercoaster), the oldest wooden rollercoaster still in operation and one of only seven attractions in the world that is operated by a brake man on each train.

Tivoli is a must-visit attraction that captures Copenhagen’s soul.

Getting there & doing it

Tivoli is located right in the centre of town, just a few minutes’ walk from the main station. There’s an interactive map of the website, and handouts are available at the ticket desk.

When to do it

Tivoli opens for ‘seasons’: Summer, from mid-April to mid-September; Halloween for last two weeks of October to early November, and Christmas, from mid-November to January 2. In season it opens seven days a week. It’s closed between seasons.

Tivoli is always extraordinary, but the lion’s share of the entertainment – which includes music, dance and pantomime performances – happens at night.
