Christmas in Tivoli

On November 20th, after (E) and I saw all we could see in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek museum we walked over the Tivoli.  Even though my feet so much from standing and walking I was really looking forward to seeing Tivoli.  I was told by many people at work that Tivoli is the place to go to for Christmas. After seeing the place I understand why. Tivoli truly was a Christmas light wonderland.

Originally on the 20th we enter the Tivoli gardens in one of the side entrances and you can tell when you walk in this place was going to be amazing.  When you enter you go down a small flight of stairs and you see all these amazing lights and Christmas shoppes.
Side entrance, with shops and Chrismtas light everywhere. The ball of lights on the top left was in the shape of snow flakes.

shops and walk way, notice all the tress have lights on them

These lights were everywhere and some were in different colors. 
 *The following day Nov 21st, (E) and I came across the main entrance of Tivoli and we took a few pictures since were in the area.  The main entrance is quite nice, however (E) and I were disappointed that a few of the sign lights were not light.  You would think with Christmas one of their busiest time - they would have all the lights lite up.
Once inside Tivoli gardens our amazement did not end. We come across the Tivoli Hotel which one of the focal points. It is hard to describe so I will let the pictures do all the talking. But I must mention that if you want to book a hotel room or a reservation at the hotel restaurant you have to schedule it almost a year in advance and be willing to shell out a lot of money.


All over the Tivoli Gardens there were many different types of tree wit lights and other decorations.


Also in the Tilvoli Gardens, there are many different rides. This includes roller coasters, swings and a beautiful carousel.
There was also a very unique Chinese area, with a cool lite up dragon and building. I found out later that there is a Chinese restuarant inside the building.


In Tivoli there is also a play house, they were showing Mama Mia! when (E) and I were there. But the way they lite it up it was great.

Another really neat thing about Tilvoli is that every walk way had unique lights above it.



In Tivoli there 80 different restaurants or snack shops, plus a whole bunch of gift shops.  If you come to Copenhagen you have to come by Tivoli Gardens.
