Tivoli Gardens

Founded in 1843, it is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world.
One of the things that makes Tivoli Gardens truly special is its ability to transform with the changing seasons.

During spring, Tivoli is more colorful than ever. The park itself states visitors will find aromatic hycinths, 20000 daffodils and colorful Easter eggs in every size.
It’s the perfect season to bring your whole family. The park offers Easter activities like hunt for Easter eggs and visiting the soft Easter lambs.

During the summer season, bushes and flowers are in full bloom. The perfect time to visit the gardens.
Mild Copenhagen nights can be spent at one of the many bars and restaurants the park offers.
Friday Rock lets you experience conerts at the Open Air Stage, sometimes with famous danish bands.

As the leaves begin to change color, the park's Halloween-themed decorations and spooky attractions add a touch of mystery and intrigue, while cozy cafes and restaurants offer warm drinks and hearty fare to ward off the chill.
Spooky spiders, screeching crows and more than 20000 jack-o’-lanterns are to be found all over the park.
Villa Vendetta, where a forlorn family has lost their minds or The Haunted House where the patients have all been trapped, are two extra-spooky attractions during Halloween-season.

Danes enjoy themselves a Scandinavian mulled wine, which is served hot, containing spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and orange peel. It is called Gløgg, tastes super sweet and is so much better than it sounds! Don’t miss out on that if you visit Denmark during winter.
If you’re not in the mood for something sweet or alcohol, but rather look for a real meal, I can definitely recommend a sandwhich called Flæskesteg-sandwich.
