Top Things to Do and See With Plane Tickets to Copenhagen
Tivoli Gardens
The Tivoli Gardens are one of the top reasons people buy flights to Copenhagen. It's the inspiration behind Walt Disney's theme parks, and gardens first opened their doors in 1843. With more than 20 attractions, it's the perfect outing for travelling families, especially over Christmas when it's turned into a winter wonderland.

Once you've bought your airfare to Copenhagen, think about purchasing the city's tourist card for free entry into the palace.
