Copenhagen Jazz Festival

There is no better time to visit Copenhagen than the ten days starting the first Friday in July where from Nyhavn to Tivoli Gardens you can sit outside with a picnic, or dine at a street cafe and listen to amazing jazz music - 900 concerts at over 100 venues throughout the city
Fairground

Bakken Amusement Park in Klampenborg, 20 minutes north of central Copenhagen and easily accessible by train, is a great alternative to Tivoli. It's one of the oldest amusement parks in the world and has all the fun of the fair, restaurants, bars, and shows but it's not as 'manicured' or touristy as Tivoli. Entance is free - you just pay for each ride you want to go on (although you can buy a wristband for unlimited rides which is a much cheaper alternative with children!) A trip to Bakken makes you feel you've had a real Danish day out and not just been a tourist.
Gefion Fountain

This statue is an attraction you should not miss. It depicts the goddess, Gefion, and her four sons, who she has turned into oxen to help her with her task of creating the island of Zealand. Water splashes out from under their hooves and over the wheels of the plough. Even more dramatic is the mist sprayed from the nostrils of the oxen. It is truly an impressive sight. and many people stop to photograph this fantastic statue.
Ghost Tours

Saturdays in July and August at 6pm (time may change from season to season). Tour lasts around 1 1/2 hours. Booking in advance recommended, payment in cash.
