Tivoli Gardens is absolutely a must-see when visiting Copenhagen. Even if you're not normally a fan…read moreof theme parks, this place is something special. It's just as enjoyable to wander through as it is to ride anything. The moment you step inside, you're surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens, charming pathways, and incredibly detailed decor that changes with the seasons. Whether it's twinkling lights in winter or vibrant blooms in summer, Tivoli always feels magical. What really surprised me is how many great food options there are inside the park. From casual snacks and pastries to full sit-down restaurants, there's something for everyone. Most of it is genuinely delicious, not just theme-park good. It's easy to spend a few hours strolling, snacking, and taking in the atmosphere. Overall, Tivoli is one of those iconic places that really lives up to the hype. Even if rides aren't your thing, the ambiance alone makes it well worth a visit.

Tivoli Gardens isn't just an amusement park--it's one of the best urban parks and entertainment…read morevenues I've ever visited anywhere in the world. I've spent time in some incredible theme parks, including Japan, which I generally consider the gold standard. Surprisingly, Tivoli may be the closest thing I've experienced to matching that level of magic, and in some ways, it surpasses it. What makes Tivoli special isn't the rides. It's the atmosphere. You can spend an entire day here without riding a single attraction and still have an amazing experience. The gardens are beautiful, the grounds are immaculately maintained, and every corner feels thoughtfully designed. There are live performances, restaurants, cafés, bars, and plenty of places to simply sit, relax, and enjoy the surroundings. The food options are far better than what you'd expect from a traditional amusement park, and the overall crowd experience is refreshingly pleasant. People were friendly, the park never felt overwhelming, and there was a sense that everyone was genuinely enjoying themselves. What I appreciated most was that Tivoli functions as a true community gathering place. It's not just a collection of rides designed to separate visitors from their money. It's a destination where locals and tourists alike come to spend time, enjoy culture, eat well, listen to music, and take in the scenery. Of everything we experienced in Copenhagen, Tivoli Gardens was the highlight. Whether you're traveling with young children, visiting as a couple, or simply looking for a beautiful place to spend an afternoon, this is an absolute must-visit. If Copenhagen has one attraction that lives up to the hype, it's Tivoli Gardens.

No matter what you're into (I'm into horror of all of the ages, but you might be psyched on…read moremusicals), Cinemateket has it. The array of films are incredible. It's not just the b/w films, the exploitation films, the arthouse, the animation, Spike Lee joints or the Bollywood madness. It's all of it and much more. It's the film house for all of us film lovers and cineasts who truly love film. But! What the hell's going on with the bright ground floor? It's like they asked the interior decorator not to include atmosphere of any kind. And when the decorator went downstairs, they were very adamant on keeping the extremely depressing basement. As if they thought it's better to have suicidal thoughts when partying (the parties are always down here) than to enjoy the DJ playing old Depeche Mode. And who wants to be happy listening to Depeche Mode, right?

Sad experience, as we had only scanned our tickets and had to leave without entering. We arrived…read morewith our entrance tickets only to be told I could not bring in the seat cushion I have to use anytime I'll be sitting (due to a medical condition). We actually stopped by just for the beautiful cafe to enjoy an afternoon coffee. I was told I would have to leave it in the lobby to enter, which obviously wouldn't work for me for such an occasion. I was not aware of this rule, and the gentleman who'd scanned our passes clearly didn't wish to converse about its purpose...just a no period. After leaving I saw on their website about large bags not being allowed (the cushion isn't large, just a flat square) and that they'll decide which will be allowed inside. While I understand the need for this type of rule, I wish I'd been allowed to explain. My husband told him we were only visiting the cafe, and I tried to show him the cushion and wanted to explain, but was dismissed before I had the opportunity. Most places I've been to seem to accommodate for certain things like this, but unfortunately not here. A shame, I very much wanted to visit.

This is a truly strange tourist attraction. And, I use that term,"Tourist Attraction," lightly…read more It is said that this place is the home to many of those who live an alternative lifestyle in Copenhagen. They claim that this area is completely beyond the rules and the laws of Copenhagen. In some ways, that is pretty easy to see as the main street is lined with people selling weed and hash, which is still illegal in Denmark. Copenhagen is not Amsterdam. Though a bit sketchy, this city within a city is very well maintained. I am sure there is some other story going on here. ...One that we will never know. This being said, what you will find here is some of the best street art and graffiti that you will witness anywhere across Copenhagen. Of course, it is clearly stated all over the place, "No Photos." But, I'm guess that is more to keep the people dealing drugs safe and off the radar than anything else. One of the funny/interesting things I find about this location is that tour buses actually pull up to it. I don't know, maybe it's just me me, but if you are truly embracing an alternative lifestyle that all seems rather intrusive. Nonetheless, this is an interesting place. Even if all you do is look at the great street art, it is worth the visit.

I love the focus on local artists and the large selection of styles. I like that it's has both relatively affordable items (A4 poster prints are 90kr) and expensive originals. The shop assistants are super friendly and helpful, and will find specific posters or different sizes for you. If you're in the shop, it's easiest to browse the two little "file boxes" of A4 posters. Many of the posters come in larger than A4 sizes, but it's just easiest to browse through the A4 size. Price for posters is by size, and you can also frames at the shop. Their website is great, and probably the easiest way to view their selection.

We went in with a level of excitement but as soon as we made it underground, and away from the light of the entrance, the mood changed and we were completely immersed within another time and dimension. While the architecture and history alone make the space worth visiting, the current exhibit pulls out from within you, emotions and awareness you may not have ever harnessed. It is truly, truly, something you must see! I had researched the Cisternerne for quite some time prior to our trip, and it lined up perfectly with our morning at the zoo, as it was right across the street. The park above the exhibit is absolutely beautiful, and lends no insight to what lies below it.

For a unique experience while in Copenhagen, book the Cisternerne exhibit boat tour. Here's why:…read more 1) History; First of all, the Cisternerne has an interesting history. Built in the middle of the 19th century, this underground reservoir once supplied the entire city with drinking water. Once abandoned, the space is now an exhibition space. 2) Art: My friend and I went when Tomás Saraceno did his "Event Horizon" exhibit. Rowing a little boat through the exhibit, you're asked to remain silent and be present as you go through the water. You'll pass art that creates light and sound adding to the space's darkness. It's so unique! 3) Location: It's right next to the Frederiksberg Palace, a yellow 1735 palace with gardens that are popular with walkers and runners. Take time before or after the Cisternerne to explore the area. If you go, note that rowing is at your own pace. They recommend 40 minutes, but once you reach the end, you're done! My friend and I felt like we were rowing slowly, but it only took us 20 minutes. We felt like we didn't get the full experience. We wished we had stopped at more spots to sit and enjoy the exhibit.
