Imagine strolling through 21 hectares of glittering grounds, home to thrilling rides, restaurants, live bandstands and even a theater.

As soon as night falls, over 110,000 LED bulbs illuminate the park, transforming Tivoli Gardens into a magical light show.

The effect is successful. As the various photos in my article show, Tivoli Gardens is a blend of styles. Between the Indian palace, the Chinese pavilion and the boats, the scenery is fabulous.

My opinion on Tivoli Gardens: is it a good visit?

My visit to Tivoli Gardens was an unforgettable experience. This place, somewhere between an amusement park and a peaceful garden, exudes a unique and delightful atmosphere. The charm is there from the very first step.

Whether you’re a rollercoaster enthusiast or a fervent nature lover, Tivoli Gardens has something for everyone. I personally loved the perfect marriage of these two worlds. My childlike soul was delighted by the many attractions and games on offer.

As for Amélie, she preferred the gardens and scenery, with a particular fondness for the Asian section.

The only snag is the cost of admission. Without the pass, the price is very high. So I’d advise you either to take the pass that includes all the attractions, or none.
