We always think that Copenhagen is like most cities in Europe, it will be as beautiful as European Christmas dream like all those beautiful Instagram photos. Not only is Copenhagen the exact vision of that European Christmas dream that we had been unrealistically hoping for, but it’s somehow even better. There are the canals of Nyhavn dotted with colorful tall, thin houses, adorned with wreaths and pine boughs.

A Christmas Market around every corner, wafting the tantalizing smells of gløgg and sizzling bratwurst and fluffy aebleskiver. Hygge floating around giving imaginary air-hugs in droves. Here is a guide of what to do during Christmas in Denmark:

Visit Christmas Market

One of the first things to do in Denmark during Christmas holiday is visiting the Christmas Market.  As you browse the stalls of adorable Christmas gifts and crafts, be sure to pick up a steaming mug of Gløgg: sweet mulled Danish wine with raisins and almonds. For an even stronger cup of Gløgg, you can add rum. There are several favorite Copenhagen Christmas Market foods.

There are loads of options for Christmas Markets in Copenhagen such as Julemarked, Nyhavn Christmas Market, and The Christmas market at Kongens Nytorv

Ice Skating

The second things to do in Denmark’s holiday season is Ice Skating. This sport is the quintessential winter activity! There are a couple of public outdoor ice skating rinks in Copenhagen.

Admission is free, but you’ll need to rent your ice skates by the hour (unless you’re the type of person who brings ice skates in their luggage, which we are not). You can ask your family, friends or even girlfriend to try these out door ice skating arena. There are several ice skating arenas in Denmark, but Frederiksberg Runddel and Toftegårds Plads are people’s favorite.

Relax in a Hot Sauna

The third things to do in Denmark during Christmas holiday is relaxing in a hot sauna. What’s more Nordic than a steamy sauna in the dead of winter? You can certainly appreciate the appeal of a hot bath when it’s chilly out! Denmark embraces this tradition wholeheartedly, and one of the best things to do in Copenhagen in winter is to get yourself to a relaxing sauna and spa.

There are plenty of options for saunas in Denmark. One of the best one is CopenHot. Seasonally open CopenHot offers like, a zillion option for spa-seeking visitors on Copenhagen’s waterfront: there’s scenic spas with panoramic water views, giant wooden tubs of hot water, and even sailing spas. Yes, like, a boat full of spa.

Explore a Winter Wonderland in Tivoli Gardens

The fourth things to do in Denmark during Christmas holiday is enjoying Tivoli Gardens. This garden is one of Copenhagen’s claims to fame, and it’s a winterland fairytale in November and December. The amusement park has been sitting smack dab in the middle of Copenhagen since 1843, making it the 2nd oldest amusement park in the world.

Take that, Disney World! During the winter, Tivoli transforms into a massive Christmas Market. We spent a full day exploring and wandering around, hand in hand. We didn’t even go on any rides - it was just so beautiful!
