10 Of Denmark's Most Magical Christmas Markets

Danes love Christmas and they make sure to celebrate it properly from mid-November. So, around this time of the year Christmas markets pop up in cities all over Denmark. Find out which ones you should look out for.

1. Egeskov Castle

Archaeological site, Market, Building

One of the most impressive castles in Denmark hosts a Christmas market every year in November over two to three weekends. Egeskov Castle is approximately an hour’s drive from Odense and has been standing on the same spot on the island of Fyn since 1554, surrounded by lakes and blossomed gardens. Most of the exhibitions and the castle are closed during the winter, so the Christmas market takes place in the Veteran Museum and in the Motorcycle Museum. However, guests can stroll around the decorated gardens, take a Segway ride or try to find their way through the castle’s maze.

Nyhavn

A Christmas market couldn’t be missing from Copenhagen’s most touristic district, Nyhavn. This year it will be taking place from November 10 to December 23, and will be open until 7pm – offering Scandinavian delicacies to locals and tourists.
