Copenhagen Christmas Markets, market by market
1. Christmas in Tivoli
Christmas stalls selling gifts and holiday treats stand among the trees of Tivoli Gardens, under thousands of lights. Children can call on Santa in his home, and the Elf Train and the Forest Carousel run as Christmas rides. An entry ticket to Tivoli Gardens is needed; rides need a separate Ride Pass. The season lasts from Friday 13 November to Sunday 3 January, and the Gardens are closed on Thursday 24 December.

2. Christmas Market Nytorv & Gammeltorv
Stalls dressed for Christmas sell seasonal goods, along with treats and hot drinks, across Nytorv and Gammeltorv, the two squares beside Strøget. On Nytorv an ice rink lends skates to children and adults, Father Christmas drops by, and there are activities for children. No entry ticket is needed. Opening on Friday 6 November, the market keeps going every day until Monday 21 December.

Wooden stalls on Højbro Plads, decorated for the season, carry handmade Christmas ornaments, crafts and gift ideas, plus seasonal food and drink, with stallholders coming from Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Talking trees tell children a Christmas story, a large activity tent hosts families, and music and entertainment run through the season. No entry ticket is needed. Stalls are open each day between Saturday 14 November and Sunday 20 December.
