What travellers are saying
- Scott MOttawa, Canada211 contributionsAfter dragging our kids through a long day of sightseeing, we wanted to reward them with an evening at Tivoli. They were very excited to take on all of the rides and we planned to try them all. Unfortunately, the park shut down all of their rides an hour before closing because they were putting on some sort of show. We had no idea, nor had we been informed by staff. Luckily the kids got to do most of the rides, but for the price you pay, we felt like we got ripped off. I contacted Tivoli customer service and they told me that because the kids had gone on a certain number of rides, they were not willing to offer any compensation. How the number of rides the kids went on factors into whether they believe you're owed compensation left me bewildered. We thought we were paying to be able to go on rides for a certain amount of time and they cut that short. It was a lot of fun. Just make sure you're aware of the hours before you go.Written 2 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ionutBucharest, Romania56 contributionsActualy is a streed in harbour with few restaurants indoor or with outside places. Turistic point so you have to see it.

- June BTavira, Portugal669 contributionsWhat a lovely to place to wander around and have some lunch. Lovely setup indoor and outdoors.

- NemoTravelerAarhus, Denmark909 contributionsThe Glyptotek is located next to the Tivoli Gardens in downtown Copenhagen. The museum was founded by brewer Carl Jacobsen who was also a great art patron. Collections include some fascinating sculptures, antiquities and also an exquisite collection of impressionist paintings made by artists Manet, Renoir, van Gogh, and others.
The architecture of the museum should also be noted and especially the Winter Garden is very beautiful.
A few days before our visit we checked hours and admission prices on the museum’s internet site. Unfortunately, prices had just been increased by a whopping twenty per cent when we visited – much more than the average inflation rate.Written 19 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We visited with the Copenhagen Card which allowed us entry into all of the different areas. The ruins under the castle were a unique thing to see.Written 2 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Scott MOttawa, Canada211 contributionsThere was so much to see and we had so little time to see it all. Give yourself enough time to visit all of the exhibits. Some are more interesting than others and everyone has their own tastes, so your experience will depend on personal preference. We enjoyed it, but it came after a long day of sightseeing. Perhaps dedicate a full morning or afternoon for a visit.Written 2 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ida HeiseldalFredrikstad, Norway77 contributionsWhen I went to Copenhagen back in 1999, I really wanted to go up into the tower of Church of Our Saviour. To my great disappointment at the time, my parents didn't want to go up into the tower with three small children in tow, and so I never got to go. Until November this year. And it was so amazing. It's a bit of a workout and the stairs are narrow in places, but it was very refreshing, and the view is absolutely splendid. You also get a little bit of a history lesson from the exhibition along the way.Written 4 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- garry kellyDublin, Ireland115 contributionsCool view after a 5-10 minute climb. Nice value for just 40.00 DKK which is a little over €5. Really quiet when I did it (13:30 on a Wednesday in late January). I’m sure it’s busy in the summer months.Written 22 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Road Schooling Mama38 contributionsBeautiful garden with a variety of climates. Great for photography.
The best part is the butterfly room!
There’s also a staircase that you can climb for a better view of one of the rooms.Written 28 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had Smörgåsbord- lemon pepper chicken and the herring. Beautifully presented and extremely tasty. Mint and lemon lemonade was really refreshing. Not cheap but a highlight of our trip to Denmark.Written 21 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
