History of the park
One of the oldest amusement parks in Denmark and throughout Europe, the "Tivoli", was built in the mid-nineteenth century by retired officer Georg Garrstsen.

Despite the obvious success of all the new dizzying rides, the "Country of Andersen's Tales" does not lose popularity either. Opposite the Tivoli Gardens, near the Town Hall, a monument to a great storyteller has been erected, which is facing the building, where its histories have been alive for more than 150 years. This ancient attraction is a multi-level underground cave where visitors move on a suspended road. Here you can plunge into the nostalgically touching atmosphere of familiar fairy tales.
