The Park
The world´s most popular city park appeals equally to the local population as it does to visitors to the city. Tivoli Gardens is more than an amusement park, it is equally as popular as a place to go dining and people-watching. The 21-acre park is beautifully landscaped with fountains and flower beds (the park pride itself in the more than 111.000 custom-designed lights that illuminate the park at night and the more than 400.000 colorful flowers, including 65.000 tulips). The architecture of the buildings in the park are wonderful, just behold the stately Nimb Palace Hotel with its Moorish-style facade sporting magnificent towers and minarets. The Chinese Tower was built in 1900 and looks just magical at night with the light reflecting off the central lake where the 18th century frigate St George III beckons attention. Other notable structures in the park include: The Glass Hall Theater, The Concert Hall, The Pantomine Theater, Plænen.
The park´s famous main entrance off Vesterbrogade was designed by Emil Blichfeldt and Richard Bergmann in 1889 - 90.

Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The park is filled with night and fog,
The veils are drawn about the world,”
—Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
