The amusement park in the city centre was built in 1843, making it the second oldest amusement park in the world today (the oldest is Dyrehavsbakken, also Danish and located about 15 km north of Copenhagen).

However, Copenhagen's Tivoli is not just an amusement park with rides, but also a pleasant place to relax with a pond, lots of greenery, restaurants and cafes. Copenhagen's park is named after the Italian town of Tivoli, where Roman emperors used to go for relaxation and entertainment.

Attractions for children and the adventurous

As well as traditional forms of entertainment, you'll find a rarity in the form of the oldest wooden roller coaster, the Rutschebanen, dating back to 1914. Also worth mentioning is the virtual reality roller coaster Demon, which exceeds 70 km/h in places and 4G overload.

Also popular is the 80-metre high chain carousel visible immediately after leaving Copenhagen Central Station.

However, in addition to adrenaline-pumping attractions for the adventurous, Tivoli also offers plenty for younger children or more timid visitors.
