The Top Street Markets In Copenhagen

Copenhagen hosts some of the best street markets in Scandinavia. No matter if one is after good food, antiques, designer items or looking to do a bit of up-cycling, Copenhagen has a market just for that. Some of the more specialized markets operate only on certain dates, which makes picking the right one to visit even more important. Enjoy our guide to the best street markets in Copenhagen.

1. Ravnsborggade Market

Market

If the regular markets don’t sound exciting enough for you, it’s worth keeping an eye out for the Ravnsborggade market in Norrebro. Although it’s not held as frequently as many of its counterparts, the market does offer spectacular finds for those ready to put effort into their searching. More importantly, however, the open air market, located on the streets of Ravnsborggade and Sankt Hans Gade, is much more than a simple flea market. Both streets host an exciting variety of antique shops, designer boutiques and galleries. With the trading in full swing, all these venues bring their business to the streets and transform the market into a real community event. The atmosphere at Ravnsborggade markets is unique, well worthy of being high on your list of Copenhagen markets to visit.

2. Remisen Market

Bazaar, Building, Market, Sports Center

Many of Copenhagen’s markets are held outdoors, which is unfortunate when one is forced to count on the weather. When the weather is not on your side, there’s also a regular flea market over at Østerbro neighbourhood in Copenhagen. Situated in Remisen, the Østerbro market is held on most weekends and the entrance fee is cheap. The Remisen market is regularly organized by different people, which often leads to a very varied selection of stalls or themes. For example, at times the market might be devoted entirely to clothes and accessories and on other days to electronics and spare parts.

Torvehallerne

For all the good food devotees, there is a market in Copenhagen that should not be missed under any circumstances. Torvehallerne is a new take on the old marketplace concept. Situated in the city center next to the Nørreport train station, the market is enclosed in a two-part glass and steel structure which allows natural light to flood the indoor space. The high ceilings give way for the individual stalls, keeping in mind the history surrounding the produce they sell. Here one can find cuisines from around the world. Tea vendors, paleo take-aways, quality cafés, fishmongers and butchers, no matter what the fare, all the businesses operating from Torvehallerne are of the very highest quality. One might argue that the market is on the expensive side, but for the quality of food produce on offer, the prices are only fair.
