The world's second-oldest amusement park (1843) and the original inspiration for Disneyland — illuminated gardens, rides, restaurants, concerts, and the most magical Christmas market in Europe.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
Tivoli Gardens opened in 1843 and inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland. The 82,717sqm park in the heart of Copenhagen combines fairground rides, ornamental gardens, concert stages, and restaurants in a setting that's somehow both nostalgic and timeless. Summer evenings with illuminated gardens, pantomime theater, and fireworks on Saturdays are extraordinary. The Christmas season (mid-November to January) is perhaps the finest holiday market in Europe — ice rinks, twinkling lights, and glögg.
