Tivoli Gardens Park – Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen, Denmark – Amalienborg Museum in the Palace of Christian VIII, Little Mermaid, Kastellet, Marmorkirken / Church of marble and something extra: Tivoli Gardens Park - an ideal place to take your family or girlfriend to visit.

Georg Carstensen was the one who initiated the project. He argued the usefulness of the park in front of King Cristian VIII in an extremely pragmatic way, saying "when people have fun, they no longer think of politics".
