Copenhagen Christmas Market

Copenhagen Christmas Market

The Danish art of ‘hygge’ is exemplified perfectly during the festive season in Copenhagen, with cosy Christmas markets popping up throughout the city.

Tivoli Gardens

Adorned with over 1000 Christmas trees and 70,000 baubles, the Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen’s theme park, transforms into a winter wonderland during the festive season. A tempting selection of treats are offered, from delicious roast pork sandwiches to sweet gingerbread and marzipan. A programme of events runs in the Glass Hall theatre and Tivoli Concert Hall offering a selection of entertainment for your visit. You must purchase a ticket to enter, and it is recommended to book online to avoid long queues- please speak to the Kirker Concierge before you travel, and we would be delighted to organise this for you.

Nyhavn

Nyhavn, one of Copenhagen’s most famous streets, becomes even more picturesque during winter time. Colourful restored warehouse fronts are decorated with lights, behind the anchored yachts and barges in the canal. The street is particularly well known for its convivial restaurants and bars, and during winter the atmospheric outdoor seating is equipped with fires, blankets and sheepskin rugs. Lining the cobbled street are rows of market stalls, offering souvenirs and warm glühwein. This area can become busy - we recommend visiting on weeknights to enjoy the market at its best.
