Christmas at Tivoli

No Christmas in Copenhagen is ever complete without taking in the marvel that is Christmas in Tivoli. This year guests will be able to experience a Scandinavian Christmas and a Russian Christmas side by side in the historic gardens. A jovial Santa Claus will be ready to take wishes at his Christmas grotto (the Pantomime Theatre) and the traditional Christmas tree will tower breathtakingly above the more than 50 stalls that litter the Tivoli paths, offering a host of seasonal delights, such as freshly cooked klejner (giant traditional Christmas cookies),honey cakes and freshly-made pancakes. Scandinavian arts and craft are also on display. After satisfying your sweet tooth, hop on some of the park’s legendary rides or make your debut on one of the five new ‘Christmas’ rides, The Russian Troika, The Siberian Express, The Chinese Lantern, The Swing Carousel and the Music Carousel. Also explore the brand new Merry Corner for a spike in merriment.
