Tivoli Gardens
Copenhagen’s world-renowned Tivoli Gardens are ever
so much more than just a central city park. The relatively small
area in the heart of the city is actually one of the world’s
most thrilling entertainment complexes, drawing about three million
visitors during its five-month summer open season each year. Tivoli
dates back to 1843 when Copenhagen was still a fortified city
surrounded by tall ramparts and a deep moat. Today the Tivoli Lake
is all that remains of the moat, which now reflects the incredible
trademark fireworks displays that light the sky over the gardens
twice a week. Tivoli is split in two, one section housing the
beautiful miniature gardens where more than 100,000 flowers bloom,
and the other the theme park with game arcades and thrill rides.
Tivoli also boasts a concert hall and open-air stages where dozens
of concerts, pantomimes and circus shows, many of them
free, are offered during the season.
