Christmas market in Ribe

December is a very special month in Ribe, where all the streets are decorated for Christmas. The perfect place to get into the Christmas shopping spirit. Take a stroll through the cosy streets of the old town, which are decked out with Christmas lights and decorations, and settle down in one of the cafés where you can warm up with a cup of coffee or cocoa. Ribe in December is an ideal place to spend a mini break or a long weekend and get a lot of Christmas shopping done.

Visit the Christmas market in Ribe, which is all about "Peter's Christmas". The classic tale of Peter's Christmas is Mathilde Cold F. Kjær's childhood story of her own Christmas in Ribe. Her childhood home, Porsborg, has now been converted into Ribe Tourist Office.

In Ribe, the Christmas market is built around Peter's Christmas, and in the town's cobbled streets, from November until Christmas, it is possible to walk around and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere in the fairytale Christmas market that forms the framework for Christmas traditions in the oldest market town in Scandinavia.

With a history that can be traced back to around 700, when the first trading post was built, there is plenty of history in the city. Many of the well-preserved buildings and houses are now listed, and together with Denmark's oldest town hall form a historic setting. The town hall dates back to 1496, and has served as the town hall since 1709.

The Christmas market in town consists of a number of stalls where it is possible to buy everything from Christmas confectionery, to traditional pretzels and gingerbread, as well as all sorts of alternative homemade Christmas gifts.

Christmas at Quedens Gaard in Ribe

Experience Christmas at the Old Merchant's Farm, which will be filled with old-fashioned Christmas spirit. A tour of the farm is an experience for all the senses, where the scents of all kinds of Christmas delights spread, while it will be possible to taste confectionery, pretzels and roasted almonds. If this is not enough Christmas spirit, it is also possible to see traditional old-fashioned crafts, braided Christmas hearts and other Christmas traditions.

Ribe Domkirke

The cathedral is also Ribe's landmark and easy to spot in the flat landscape that characterises the region. It took about 100 years to complete the church, which was built around 1250. But since then there have been many additions and alterations, and today the cathedral is the site of a number of tombs to the most powerful men in the kingdom and the city. There is also an epitaph, donated by Valdemar Sejr, in honour of his son who died in 1231. A little south of the cathedral, Christian graves have been found, so perhaps Ansgar's church was also located there. A great experience to go back in time in historic Denmark and see for yourself the famous tombs and the beautiful decorations of the cathedral.
