Tivoli - One of the Oldest Amusement Parks in the World

The founder of Tivoli, Georg Carstensen, successfully persuaded the then Danish King Christian VIII to grant him the land by arguing that people who are entertained are less likely to dwell on politics. From day one, the public was captivated by the park's elegant and exotic design. Among its notable guests was the Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen, who was inspired to write the fairy tale “The Nightingale”. Walt Disney also drew inspiration from Tivoli for his own Disney World. Since its inception, Tivoli has continued to be a beloved venue for entertainment and fun.

Exploring Beautiful Places at Tivoli

The park is famous for its beautiful garden landscape, adorned with exotic plants and ancient trees, providing a green oasis in the heart of the urban capital. Throughout the park, numerous retreats offer visitors a chance to pause and appreciate the serene surroundings. One of the highlights is the Hanging Gardens, perfect for picnicking or simply relaxing while enjoying views of the Tivoli Lake. The Orangery, with its classic, airy, and nostalgic ambiance reminiscent of traditional botanical gardens, is surrounded by well-maintained green spaces and frequently hosts outdoor concerts. At night, the park transforms under the glow of thousands of colorful lights, creating a magical, fairy-tale atmosphere that is both unique and romantic.

Rides & Amusements at Tivoli

The rides at Tivoli are thoughtfully designed to complement the park's architecture and gardens.
