  Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tivoli Gardens is a famous amusement park in Copenhagen, Denmark.
It was first called "Tivoli and Vauxhall": "Tivoli" alluding to the Jardin de Tivoli in Paris (which in its turn had been named from Tivoli near Rome), and "Vauxhall" alluding to the Vauxhall Gardens in London.
From the very start, Tivoli included a variety of attractions: buildings in the exotic style of an imaginary Orient: a theatre, band stands, restaurants and cafés, flower gardens, and mechanical amusement rides such as a merry-go-round and a primitive scenic railway.
