For our next trip head towards the centre of Copenhagen, a place visited by their very cheerful spirit and the great attractions it offers to its visitors.

This is the Tivoli, the amusement park world's oldest, located in a large city block in the neighborhood of Vesterbro, which originally opened its doors in 1843 and is still intact.

On admission, we have a totally different space, whose environment with palaces, gardens and a stunning lighting transports us to another era where the magic abounds in every corner.

While games are not as modern as can be seen in various parks in the world today, the compound has been responsible for incorporating new machinery to continue pleasing his loyal audience.

One of the greatest beauties of the place is at dusk when the streets are illuminated by providing an atmosphere charming, so that the whole environment is not only busy for international tourists but for all the Danes.

Copenhagen Øresund facing east, the Strait of water that separates Sweden from Denmark, and connecting the North Sea with the Baltic Sea.
