Pauline's Guidebook
Sightseeing
Tivoli is a favorite for all Danes and visitors alike. With great food, gorgeous gardens, fireworks, concerts and of course rides there is something for everyone.
If you have small kids there are shows daily next to the playground with Rasmus Klump (a bear that loves pancakes).
For adults there are concerts every Friday throughout the summer season. Check the tivoli websites for details.

Great place to relax with the family. The playground here has a lot of different play stuff for kids and a little cafe where you can buy coffee, cold drinks, pastries and ice cream. On warm days they usually open the water jets over a shallow pool for kids to play and cool off.

Drinks
Great place for wine and spritzers on sunny days.
No fuss, outdoor bar with a small selection of drink options and some bar snacks. They allow you to get food from other places and eat it there as long as you buy drinks from them. My recommendation would be to get food from Itzi Pitzi Pizza around the corner
