Dyrehavsbakken is considered the oldest amusement park in the world: it was founded in 1583. Of course, back then the park was not a park, but a market square. The public was entertained by street performers who sang, danced, showed magic tricks and acrobatic stunts. Today, there are over 100 rides here, from the most harmless to quite extreme. In addition, the park has many other entertainments, including cabaret shows and circus performances.
