7 June 2024 Copenhagen: The Tivoli Gardens and Pleasure Garden

 


The Tivoli has been in operation since 1843 making it the third longest amusement part in operation in the world.  It has an old school charm that is authentic rather than created.  We had a blast watching the Danes stroll, snack, run, lounge and giggle their way along the many paths.  We had our standard progressive picnic at various benches through the park while enjoying the flowers blooming throughout.  We stepped into a shop to poke at the goods and suddenly the place got very crowded.  A shower had just started and folks were taking shelter.  The rain quickly passed and we continued on in our exploration of the Tivoli.  We found where the performance venues are located and since we bought a season pass, we can go and listen to so many different shows.  


The quirky begins


So formal!


One of those short lived showers


Domes and spires aplenty


Old India


Floral exuberance


A tall spire 


Great balls of blooms


Blackbird


The guls liked to land on these dragonflys


At the edge of the park


Yo ho ho and a windy hair day


Man imitating nature, the flower looks like the tower


More spinning the folks


So delightful


Do not "donut"


The flowers were a great addition to the park


A fountain leading down to the aquarium level


The professional level of swing ride


This looked more like my style


The flags are blowing int he stiff breeze


Stop....and smell the roses


So very large


Colorful


Scented


See your but!


The banner out in the front


We headed across the street to the train station


We needed information about the city bus pass


The train station was cavernous


Nicely accented


Old school for sure
