Fundado en 1843, los Jardines Tívoli son un parque de diversiones único ubicado donde solían estar las murallas de la entonces ciudad fortificada.

El parque ocupa unos impresionantes 80.000 metros cuadrados en el corazón mismo de Copenhague, lo que lo convierte en uno de los parques de diversiones más grandes del país. Los Jardines Tívoli ofrecen unas atracciones increíbles, como una montaña rusa histórica, un barco pirata mítico y varios carruseles.

Las casas de tonos alegres bordean las márgenes del Nyhavn y su reflejo en las suaves olas del canal le aporta un toque de belleza totalmente singular a las aguas surcadas por los barcos a vela. Con tanto rojo, azul, amarillo y verde, las márgenes del Nyhavn parecen una caja de crayones. Nyhavn es el canal que conecta el puerto de Copenhague con el Kongens Nytorv, un proyecto súper ambicioso iniciado a pedido del rey Christian V en el siglo XVII. Mientras que el lado sur está poblado por mansiones de lujo, el lado norte está repleto de casas adosadas de los siglos XVII y XVIII, y la más vieja de ellas data de 1681. Nyhavn antiguamente fue una de las principales paradas de los marineros, y sus pubs y cervecerías estaban llenas de vida. En la actualidad, las casas fueron restauradas y convertidas en restaurantes de alto nivel y cafés acogedores que atraen enormes cantidades de visitantes gracias a su encanto. Nyhavn es uno de los puntos de encuentro favoritos de los residentes, quienes buscan el puerto para relajarse y descansar. Las casas adosadas de Nyhavn también albergaron a diversos artistas, como el famoso escritor de cuentos de hadas Hans Christian Andersen y el artista H. G. F. Holm, cuyas acuarelas están inspiradas en la apariencia tan pintoresca de Nyhavn.
Bakken es uno de los parques de diversiones más populares y más antiguos del mundo entero. Al igual que Tívoli, Bakken se encuentra en una zona muy pintoresca de Dyrehaven.

El parque cuenta con un teatro a cielo abierto donde los artistas entretienen a la audiencia, pero lo más popular sin dudas es la mascota del parque, el payaso Pierrot, quien realiza varios shows al día en su pequeña casita. Las visitas a Bakken por o general se combinan con largos y maravillosos paseos por Dyrehaven.
