you will be a child again
This is the Tivoli in Copenhagen, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world that will make you feel like a child and that adds to the already famous tendency to happiness in the Danish capital.
It was born in the 19th century as one of the urban plans that sought to alleviate the exponential growth of large cities. In the present virtual age, Copenhagen's Tivoli is a timeless oasis of massive retro charm that modernizes itself in small but precise steps. Currently gathers 26 attractions and about 50 restaurants to enjoy an unexpected afternoon.

Just because its roller coasters and merry-go-rounds aren't new doesn't mean they aren't pretty. In fact, the aesthetics of the Tivoli is one of its strong points, full of art deco typography and ornamentation, except for deserved exceptions, such as a branch of the Joe & The Juice franchise. Walking through the park costs around seven euros (riding on the attractions is paid separately). The basic admission is well worth it for places like these:
NIMB
The large Tivoli leisure complex has the forms and modes of a Moorish temple . This Moorish fantasy castle has existed for more than a hundred years, created in 1909 by the architect and director of the leisure center at the time, Knud Arne-Petersen. In 2007 it underwent an almost complete renovation, bringing its interior architecture closer to its Nordic essence. In addition to being a hotel and several bars and restaurants, offers dinner and rock on Friday nights , a luxury brunch on weekends and careful pastries on the terrace every afternoon.

KONCERTSALEN
In the heart of the park and in its adjoining open space, first-rate concerts and theatrical performances are scheduled. From a show by the American singer-songwriter John Mayer that will take place in the next few days to the dance performances of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater or The Royal Ballet expected for the month of September. All genres are possible inside the Tivoli, which is part of the popular scenic offer of the Danish capital.

ISMEJERIET
Frozen yogurt is all the rage, but the one at this place northeast of the park , near the Little Dragon attractions and one of the newest, Aquila, are big words . It is tiny, with naive visual forms, but at the same time it is full of possibilities and it is precisely one of those places that puts the inner child to the test. There is a cart full of infinity of toppings that one can freely serve to combine with natural flavor frozen yogurt or liquorice flavor.
The pantomime, an icon in Tivoli
PANTOMIMEMETEATRET
One of the icons of the place is this theater, one of the few in the world where the genre of pantomime (or what is the same shows of pampering). Also know as The Peacock Theater for the figure of the peacock q ue presides over its vintage-style stage, there is also room for children's shows in its programming.
MAZZOLIS COFFEE & TRATTORIA
Another recent addition is this family-run Italian cafe and restaurant. This spacious pavilion, located in the southeast area facing the lake and the Viking ship, knows how to take advantage of the circular shape of its interior for its own interests. Its menu is modern but respectful of the Mediterranean gastronomic tradition.
