I spent my last two hours on Sunday in Copenhagen at the world famous Tivoli Gardens which is the second oldest amusement park in the world, built in 1843.In the heart of Copenhagen, it's the city's most popular attraction with 25 rides, a theater, band stand, restaurants, cafes, and a scenic railroad. It's founder was Georg Carstensen and he obtained a five year license to build the park from King Christian as an escape for people not to take politics too seriously.
The grounds were all spruced up for Christmas and it felt like a winter wonderland, with Santa on his sleigh receiving children on his lap whispering their Christmas wishes into his ear. A giant wooden reindeer, a tree with red hearts hanging from it, a band dressed in Santa suits, and festive lanterns and lights all over made me feel the Christmas spirit down to my frozen toes.
Today is part one of the photos and tomorrow I will post part two.
I am pleased as punch to announce the launch of Eye Prefer Paris Tours, which are 3-hour walking tours I will personally be leading. The Eye Prefer Paris Tour includes many of the places I have written about such as small museums & galleries, restaurants, cafes & food markets, secret addresses, fashion & home boutiques, parks, and much more.
I look forward to meeting you on my tours and it will be my pleasure and delight to show you my insiders Paris.
