Tivoli Gardens is a famous amusement park and pleasure garden in Copenhagen. The park opened on August 15, 1843 and is one of the oldest amusement parks which has survived intact to the present day.
Cafés, restaurants, pavilions, open-air theatres, and an amusement park are set among Tivoli’s flower gardens. Fireworks, floodlights and illuminated fountains brighten the park at night. Concerts, pantomimes, and ballets are performed throughout the summer.
The park was opened in 1843 by the writer-architect Georg Carstensen on the southern ramparts of the old city. Part of the former moat became a lake for boating. Bombing in 1944 destroyed many park buildings, including the old concert hall; a new concert hall, seating 2,000, was opened in 1956.
