You need to try these 6 Copenhagen Christmas classics
'Tis the season of warm gløgg, twirling and swirling and cosy Christmas markets. Christmas is a time filled with traditions, and Christmas in Copenhagen is no exception. So here's a list for everyone who wants to make sure they don't miss out on the Copenhagen Christmas classics.
Gløgg: A sweet and spicy seasonal love affair
During Christmas, you can't approach a market, cafe or bar in Copenhagen without being met with the sometimes overwhelming yet delightful scent of clove, oranges, cinnamon, anis, burnt wine and strong booze. It is in our bones, and nobody up here could imagine Christmas without it.
Christmas tree spotting
In December Copenhagen is covered in Christmas trees, and going on a treasure hunt to spot the best ones it the perfect activity if you're looking to get in the right Christmas spirit. The granddaddy of Copenhagen Christmas trees is placed in the Copenhagen City Hall Square, but Frederiksberg City Hall Square and the Red Square in Nørrebro also have some spectacular trees.
Get in the spirit at Copenhagen’s Christmas markets
Copenhagen is a genuine Christmas city, where it is impossible not to get in the spirit for the Christmas holiday season. The best place to soak up the atmosphere is at one of Copenhagen’s many Christmas markets.
