I, too, love Tivoli. It's hard not to. This amusement park has been around since 1843 and is still attracting millions of visitors to this day. It inspired Walt Disney to create Disneyland; I can see many similarities between Tivoli and Disney's Fantasyland, especially.

There were at least two concerts here for the Copenhagen Jazz Festival that we planned on attending, so we knew we would be coming here at least twice. We took the plunge and decided to buy the Annual Pass (årskort) which includes admission for a year and pays for itself if you go at least three times. As of today, we are three weeks into our trip and have visited Tivoli -- no joke! -- seven times. One time we went just for dinner.

But our main reasons to visit have been the Saturday big band and Friday Night rock concerts.

My personal favorite concert was Oh Land (a Danish pop singer). If you've never heard her music, take a listen to some of her songs especially "Lean", "White Nights", "Renaissance Girls", and "Green Card".

And of course, there are rides at Tivoli. It's much smaller than, say, Disneyland, but there's still something for everyone here. You actually pay for the rides separately (either individually or via all-day wristband). So we waited and just got wristbands to do all of the rides in one day.
We drew the line at the scary airplane ride that went upside down and corkscrewed the entire way. We are kids at heart, but I guess even we have limits!
But I guess you're never too old to go on the swings! Truly, jeg elsker Tivoli!
Neat place, but if I'd done those swings, everyone below would have been very unhappy when something rather unpleasant rained down on them from above.
