(Copenhagen, Denmark)

ABOVE: Taj Mahal, Tivoli Gardens.

Season and hours

Tivoli operates from late April until mid-September. The gates open at 11 a.m., closing at 11 p.m., midnight, or 1 a.m. according to the day or season.

Tivoli also has a Christmas Market in November and December; see the official Web site (listed below) for details.

Prices

In 2002, the entrance fee for adults is DKK 55. Children from 4-12 pay DKK 30; accompanied tots are free.

Individual rides require one to five tickets which cost DKK 10 each. You can buy an unlimited multi-ride ticket for DKK 180 with your admission or at any ticket booth in the gardens.

If you're watching your kroner, visit from Monday through Thursday, when Tivoli offers a DKK 100 "Wild Ticket" that covers both admission and unlimited rides.

TIP: Most of Tivoli's rides are pleasant rather than thrilling. You might want to save most of your ride budget for Bakken, a 400-year-old amusement park north of the city that has one of Europe's highest roller coasters.

For more information on discounts, special packages, and off-season events, see Tivoli's official Web site.

Food and drink

Tivoli has dozens of restaurants, cafés, pastry shops, snack bars, and food stands. There's even a Hard Rock Café for tourists who wouldn't dream of going home without a souvenir t-shirt.

For a pleasant meal in an authentic Danish atmosphere, try Grøften near the Pantomime Theatre. Its family-friendly beer garden is delightful after dark, when the tables are illuminated by lanterns in the shape of hot-air balloons. (TIP: Order a bottle of the local Porter if you enjoy dark beer, and try Jolly Cola if you're a teetotaler.)

Getting money

It's easy to empty your wallet at Tivoli. Fortunately, the park has a bank where you can exchange traveler's checks or personal checks. You'll also find an ATM near the main entrance; see our article on European ATMs and currency exchange machines for advice on using your cash card overseas.
