Tivoli Gardens is included on both cards, but only garden entry. Rides are not covered and cost 309–349 DKK extra. Tivoli opens seasonally rather than year round.
Garden entry, and nothing beyond it. That single distinction is what most visitors get wrong about Tivoli and the card.
A pleasure garden from 1843 in the middle of the city, and the second-oldest still operating. Allow an afternoon into the evening — the gardens change completely after dark.
Tivoli was designed to be lit, and the lighting is the point rather than an afterthought. Arriving in the afternoon and staying past sunset gets you two visits on one scan, and costs nothing extra.
The 1874 peacock-fronted stage, which still runs wordless Harlequin performances in the open air. Part of general admission, so it is genuinely covered by the card rather than sold alongside it.
The Nimb building, the Chinese Tower and the lake that follows the line of the old city moat. Walking the gardens without going on a single ride is a legitimate way to spend an evening here.
Tivoli is the card attraction most likely to disappoint if you arrive with the wrong expectation — or on the wrong week. Season dates and prices confirmed against tivoli.dk.
Two minutes from Copenhagen Central, opposite the main entrance. Included on both cards, and about as easy to reach as anything in the city.
It covers Tivoli Gardens along with 80+ other attractions and all public transport.
Only going here? The card pays for itself across several attractions, not one. If Tivoli Gardens is the only thing on your list, a single ticket is the cheaper buy.
Tivoli's gate price moves with the date, so the box may show more than the €23 quoted above. Both are Tivoli's own prices.
All three are included on the same card, so the only cost of adding them is the time. For the full list, see every attraction the Copenhagen Card covers.
Antiquities and 19th-century French art around a glass-domed winter garden, immediately next door. Degas, Gauguin and one of the largest Rodin holdings outside France.
Denmark's national collection, from the Bronze Age Sun Chariot to the present, with a Children's Museum included in the same ticket.
The city's own story from the medieval settlement onward, in a rebuilt hall on Stormgade. The quietest of the three.
Garden entry is about €23 per adult without a card. Both cards cover it — the rides are a 309–349 DKK wristband on top — along with 80+ more attractions and unlimited public transport.
Garden entry is free on both the Discover and Hop cards, and that is where the coverage stops. Rides need a wristband at 309–349 DKK, which card holders can buy as an upgrade without paying entry twice. Garden entry alone runs about €23.
Tivoli has no Monday closure and opens every day within its seasons. The catch is the seasons themselves: roughly late March to late September, mid-October to early November, and mid-November to early January. It shuts entirely between them.
Nothing needs booking for garden entry. Show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the gate and walk in. The ride wristband is bought separately, and card holders can book the unlimited Ride Pass at a discount through Tivoli's dedicated card-holder link.
Tivoli is the one card attraction that allows re-entry. Get a re-entry stamp at the main entrance before you leave and you can return the same day on the same card. The exception is selected Fridays with Friday Rock concerts, when re-entry is not permitted.
Show the live QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the entrance and let staff scan it. Your booking confirmation email is not your card, and a screenshot of the QR code will not scan — it has to be the app itself, which works offline once activated.
