Tivoli Gardens

admin — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 18:17:27 +0000

Tivoli Gardens is a famous amusement park and pleasure garden in Copenhagen that has been open since 1843. Tivoli is more an amusement park than a grassy, tree grove garden. You can find quiet sections of Tivoli, even romantic spots around its lake with spectacular night views of the Chinese pagoda or Pirate ship reflected in the still waters. Perhaps Tivoli is not a true chill-out park—even though 75% of the area must by charter be “open space”—but this is because the rides and fun of amusements draw you into their world.
