A fairytale park, in my opinion, the best Luna park in the world, Tivoli Gardens is the most visited attraction in Copenaghen. Copenhagen is a wonderful city, full of life and colors, it is worth visiting in winter as in summer. The park opened on 15 August 1843 and is the second-oldest operating amusement park in the world.
