Copenhagen’s Christmas Spirit - Private Walking Tour

Visiting Copenhagen and wondering what a typical Danish Christmas is like? We’ll fill you in! Join us for our Copenhagen’s Christmas Spirit Private Walking Tour for markets, traditions, a sweet treat and a “hygge” time!

The story about the tour

Forget all about the frosty weather as cheerful Christmas decorations illuminate the street. Locals and visitors alike are awed by the holiday designs that make up the decor of Tivoli Gardens and the Hotel D’Angleterre (they are different every year); Christmas cookies are offered for free in every store, and Christmas markets take over the city. 

Finding yourself in Copenhagen, wondering how a typical Danish Christmas is celebrated? During our Copenhagen’s Christmas Spirit Private Walking Tour, we’ll learn about who nisse is, why the risengrød (rice porridge) is so important, and what the Danes put in their Christmas Eve dessert risalamande. Want to celebrate Christmas the Danish way even more? We, of course, can’t forget about common Danish traditions such as lille juleaften (little Christmas Eve), the ever so popular julefrokost (Christmas lunch) and how the Danes decorate their Christmas trees. 

Oh! But we can’t forget to talk about one of our favourite Danes and his importance (as well as influence) on Danish Christmas traditions! Can you guess who we’re speaking about? We’re talking about fairytale author Hans Christian Andersen! 

Finally, no holiday tour is complete without tasting a Danish Christmas classic: Æbleskiver. These delicious round pancake puffs served with strawberry jam and powdered sugar are so delightful we bet you’ll probably return for more during your stay! 

Get ready for a crash course in genuine Danish Christmas that guarantees you leave with a Christmas Spirit that lasts through the whole season!

    Happy Nobel Day! 💡 As Nobel Week was cancelled in 2020, Nobel lectures, prizes and banquets were replaced with Nobel Week Lights - light installations inspired by Nobel Prize-awarded findings and laureates. As the festivities are now back, we sure hope that we are so lucky that the artwork brightening up the city during the darkest month of the year; is a December tradition that has come to stay. 💫

🇸🇪 
Nobeldagen är här! 💡 Nobelveckan blev inställd 2020, och istället för Nobelföreläsningar, prisutdelning och bankett genomfördes Nobel Week Lights som är ljusinstallationer inspirerade av Nobelpris på olika platser i Stockholm. Det blev så uppskattat att det genomförs i år igen trots att Nobelveckan är återinförd. Har vi tur så är det en decembertradition som kommit för att stanna. 💫

    It’s a contested issue amongst numerous Baltic connected countries as to who invented the Ice-skate. Was it the Finns or the Dutch? All of this is irrelevant because the best city to ice-skate in is Stockholm. If you want to show off your Quadruple Axel in front of the masses, the ice-rink in Kungsträdgården is the perfect location. ✨⛸️✨

    Don't let its controversy cloud your curiosity as Christianshavns characteristic slanting roofs and canals, as well as the tremendous Church of Our Saviour, are well worth seeing. Not to forget the Færgecafé or Café Parterre who are both worth visiting.
