Fodor's Expert Review Gröna Lund Tivoli

Smaller than Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens or Göteborg's Liseberg, this amusement park has managed to retain much of its historical charm, while making room for modern, hair-raising rides among the pleasure gardens, amusement arcades, and restaurants. If you're feeling especially daring, try the Giant Drop (Fritt Fall). At more than 250 feet, it's one of the best ways to see Stockholm, albeit for about three seconds, before you plummet at 10 feet per second. There isn't an adult who grew up in Stockholm who can't remember the annual excitement of Gröna Lund's April opening. Go and you will see why. Major Swedish and international artists perform on the open-air stage in the heart of the park during the height of the summer.
