Fairy tales come alive at this quaint and picturesque park in Kaatsheuvel. Step into your own fairy story by walking the cobblestone streets and gaping at ivy-covered castles.

Parc Asterix, France

Tivoli Gardens, Denmark
The world’s second-oldest theme park opened in 1843 and has since been igniting joy in both locals and visitors, and even reportedly inspired Walt Disney when he was creating his own park. Located in the center of Copenhagen, an adjacent food hall serves as the park’s own little Epcot, with food stalls representing cuisines from all over the world.
