Denmark's stylish capital city puts on a unique show with its Christmas Markets. As the festive season approaches, Copenhagen's shops, bars and cafés are dressed in their festive finery, and the streets shine with twinkling lights and a huge variety of decorations.
Experience the Tivoli Market where you can sample the Danish Christmas treats like the hot cinnamon-laced rice pudding known as Grod, plus a hot, spicy drink made of red wine and traditionally accompanied by round, pan-fried cakes served with sugar and jam. Or visit one of the city's many excellent restaurants and have a traditional Danish Christmas lunch with pickled herring, liver pâté, meat balls and other Danish delights.
Do not miss a visit to Copenhagen's most famous tourist attraction, the Little Mermaid statue, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fantastic fairy-tale.
With low cost airlines now flying from all major UK airports and great rates on a
car hire in Denmark, Copenhagen ticks all the boxes for a fantastic city break, especially at Christmas!
