What travelers are saying
- Scott MOttawa, Canada218 contributionsAfter dragging our kids through a long day of sightseeing, we wanted to reward them with an evening at Tivoli. They were very excited to take on all of the rides and we planned to try them all. Unfortunately, the park shut down all of their rides an hour before closing because they were putting on some sort of show. We had no idea, nor had we been informed by staff. Luckily the kids got to do most of the rides, but for the price you pay, we felt like we got ripped off. I contacted Tivoli customer service and they told me that because the kids had gone on a certain number of rides, they were not willing to offer any compensation. How the number of rides the kids went on factors into whether they believe you're owed compensation left me bewildered. We thought we were paying to be able to go on rides for a certain amount of time and they cut that short. It was a lot of fun. Just make sure you're aware of the hours before you go.Written February 2, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aleksandar MSerbia10 contributionsBeautifull Nyhavn and Copenhagen. We have enjoyed every second walking this beautifull part of city. Houses, people, everything is amaizing.Written March 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Travelbug86 contributionsBusy but the group sizes meant you could get around. Some real quirks like a “wetting chair” and a possibly kinky mirror room?! ?! Shame the furniture was random dumped so bedrooms did not look like bedrooms for exampleWritten March 16, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The museum features a garden in the center, many rooms, a clay studio, and a terrace with nice views of the city. It might be my favorite.Written March 18, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- neeelixEssex, UK188 contributionsShowcasing around 900 hundred years of Copenhagen's important Governmental and Royal History this is easily worth the purchase of the CPH alone. First there is the tower and it's amazing views of the City from all sides - this is free and worth the lift / climb to the top. Next is the extensive foundations of the various previous buildings. Informative narratives and atmospheric lighting and audio adds to the experience. This took at least 45 mins to an hour and is vast. Finally the palace and its state rooms is a must for anyone who enjoys heritage tours of stately homes and the like. Notably the modern tapestries in the main hall, spot the scenes and faces across the vast room and its contents. A self -guided tour was our choice as we made our way around.Written March 6, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ida HeiseldalFredrikstad, Norway77 contributionsWhen I went to Copenhagen back in 1999, I really wanted to go up into the tower of Church of Our Saviour. To my great disappointment at the time, my parents didn't want to go up into the tower with three small children in tow, and so I never got to go. Until November this year. And it was so amazing. It's a bit of a workout and the stairs are narrow in places, but it was very refreshing, and the view is absolutely splendid. You also get a little bit of a history lesson from the exhibition along the way.Written February 4, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Scott MOttawa, Canada218 contributionsThere was so much to see and we had so little time to see it all. Give yourself enough time to visit all of the exhibits. Some are more interesting than others and everyone has their own tastes, so your experience will depend on personal preference. We enjoyed it, but it came after a long day of sightseeing. Perhaps dedicate a full morning or afternoon for a visit.Written February 2, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Morten PCopenhagen, Denmark471 contributionsA landmark for Copenhagen from 1642, worth stopping by if you're here anyway.
Remember to come all the way up and see the view from the top.Written March 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We bought a ticket that paid for both the Natural History Museum and the Palm House. The butterfly museum is free. We went during early spring, but I could imagine how beautiful it would be from late spring-summer.Written March 18, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
