The Best of Christmas in Copenhagen
Saint Lucia Day Procession
This tradition comes from Sweden but the Danish have embraced it as their own. The procession features girls dressed in white carrying candles and is held 13 December. Tivoli Gardens has a beautiful procession and Nyhavn Canal has a procession of decorated kayaks you’d have to see to believe.
Ice Skating at Frederiksberg Runddel
This wonderful Copenhagen tradition is the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. Go in the evening so you can enjoy the lights and get a mug of hot chocolate or mulled wine from a neighboring cafe. Admission is free. If you don’t have your own skates, you can rent them for DKK 50 until an hour before closing.
This popular attraction will appeal to anyone with a flair for decor. There are six tables and each is set by a different celebrity or artist. You will love seeing the creative spin the settings have in what is normally such a traditional element.
Open: until December 31st
Address: Royal Copenhagen Flagship Store, Amagertorv 6 – 1160 Copenhagen K.
