Wonderful Things to Do in Copenhagen in Winter

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

Winter in Copenhagen is a magical time. The city, already charmingly beautiful, takes on an added glow with colorful twinkle lights adorning buildings and streets filled with vibrant outdoor markets that sparkle against the snow.

If you're looking for a winter getaway that combines natural beauty, fabulous food and drink experiences, and plenty of festive cheer, then Copenhagen might just be at the top of your list!

Christmas Markets

As you browse the stalls of adorable Christmas gifts and crafts, be sure to pick up a steaming mug of Gløgg: sweet mulled Danish wine with raisins and almonds.

FAIRYTALE CASTLES

Denmark was once a thriving monarchy with loads of enormous castles, one of which was even immortalized in Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

HOT DRINKS & HYGGE

Hygge is a HUGE part of Danish culture. Take a Hygge & Happiness tour to learn all about hygge and get deeply in touch with your inner cozy side.

KONGENS NYTORV

Kongens Nytorv, also known as “The King’s Square,” is the largest square in Copenhagen.

As budget travelers visiting Copenhagen on a very long trip, we chose to stay in the Copenhagen Downtown Hostel. The location was excellent, plus fantastic facilities and friendly staff!
