Tivoli Description: Opened in 1843 as a theme park and public garden, Tivoli Gardens has outlasted the great parks of Europe that were its inspiration – the Tivoli in Paris and Vauxhall Gardens in London. Tivoli Gardens still retains a flavour of that era, seeming more like an open-air garden than it does a theme park. Visitors can stroll, listen to symphonies and eat sausages; there are also plenty of rides, however, including the Golden Tower, Valhalla Castle, a Ferris Wheel and a roller coaster that zooms through the treetops. The Monsoon is a new ride which opened in May 2001 – visitors are taken 12m (33ft) into the air with their legs dangling below before being dropped towards the water. The less daring can enjoy the many concerts, circus acts, and theatrical performances that also find a home at Tivoli. The famous Copenhagen Christmas market is held here in November and December, making this a particularly atmospheric time to visit.
