10 Of Copenhagen's Top Markets

Every spring, when flea market season kicks in, Copenhagen‘s picturesque streets are filled with stalls packed with all kinds of goods. Outdoor flea and food markets can be spotted in every neighborhood and, even if temperatures sink below zero, there are always both indoor and outdoor markets to explore. Bargain-hunting at Copenhagen’s top markets is a year-round affair.

1. Torvehallerne KBH

Market

A stone’s-throw away from Nørreport Station stands Torvehallerne KBH, Copenhagen’s most popular food market. With more than 60 stands serving delicacies from all over the world, no wonder this glass market is usually packed with locals and tourists. Some food stalls sell products while others offer cooked meals, coffee and fresh beverages inspired by Danish and international cuisines. Prices are a bit steep but, even if you don’t buy something, it’s worth taking a stroll around the numerous stands.

2. Kødbyens Mad og Marked

Market, Street Food

One of the reasons locals look forward to seeing Kødbyens Mad og Marked stalls set up every spring is that it takes place in the Meatpacking District, among old butcheries that are now industrial-style restaurants and hip bars. The other reason is that they know they’ll find delicious, quality food at low prices. Plus, there is always music and Copenhagen’s hip crowd. That’s why everyone saves the dates Kødbyens Mad og Marked is open, and the long wooden tables under the colorful awnings are always packed.

3. Thorvaldsens Plads Antique Marked

Market

Taking place in one of Copenhagen’s most beautiful spots, right next to Thorvaldsens Museum and by the waterfront, Thorvaldsens Plads Antique Market is the perfect choice for a relaxed Saturday morning walk.

Studenterhuset-Students House-Copenhagen

Student House (Studenterhuset) is run mostly by volunteers and is a hangout for students and millennials, not only due to its low prices (including beer) but also because several events often take place here.

8. Frederiksberg Flea Market

Market

With interior design and decoration items, furniture, as well as secondhand clothes and shoes filling over 90 stalls, Loppetorv Frederiksberg, as locals call it, is one of the best flea markets in Copenhagen.
