On Saturday, Sarah and I spent the afternoon/evening in Tivoli! It was a perfect day for it, because it was likely one of the last warm and sunny days we’ll have in Copenhagen.
This time, we bought the fancy tickets so that we could ride all the rides, which was completely worth it. We went on the roller coasters, the spinning rides, and a ride that told us a selection of Hans Christian Andersen tales. Some of the rides seemed very similar to the rides still seen at Disneyland, although obviously with different themes… The one I remember as being Dumbo is an octopus here.
We had dinner at an Italian place, where we got mac and cheese (the first I’ve seen here, actually), and then we went to go see Alvin Ailey. They were, as expected, awesome. I always love going to see dance performances, and Alvin Ailey has great musicality and power in all of their movements. The theater was in an aquarium, so at least it was interesting waiting for the doors to open.
Afterwards we went back and tried out some more rides. This was my first experience in Tivoli at night, and it’s cool to see how they light it up. All the pictures from the evening are from Sarah’s camera, because the ones on mine were all really blurry. My camera doesn’t do well in the dark, apparently.
Overall, it was a lovely day! Tivoli is possibly my favorite place in Copenhagen. Just walking around, every area of the park is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s designed for everyone to be able to come and enjoy it. I can’t wait to see how they decorate it for Halloween and Christmas!
