What people are saying about Copenhagen

We went on New Year’s Eve. Tivoli gardens lights and Christmassy vibes were amazing. We arrived early as soon as they opened at 11am and did not have to queue for the rides. It did get busier after 2pm and some ride waits were 40mins. The fireworks at the end of the night were spectacular and this continued as we walked out of the exit where fireworks were lighting up the sky for over 2 hours. We would definitely recommend a visit here.

Tivoli gardens was amazing, the rides were also great. There were a lot of places to choose from for food which was great, souvenir shops etc. As i went for new years eve, there was fireworks at 11pm that light up the sky. It was amazing.
