Christmas market in Roskilde

Set against a beautiful backdrop of historic medieval buildings, Roskilde's annual Christmas market is a must. Here you can be seduced by the smell of fir, mulled wine and roasted almonds, singing, music and elves and lots of cosy stalls. Not least the 800-year-old cathedral and the old town hall provide the backdrop for the atmospheric events when it's 'Christmas on Stændertorvet'.

The Christmas market in Roskilde is extremely charming and has a very special atmosphere in the historic setting of Stændertorvet in the city centre. It was a trading post as far back as the Viking Age and up through the Middle Ages, and it really creates a special atmosphere to walk around here. Take a pleasant stroll around the 20 or so stalls offering everything from pottery, jewellery, winter knitwear, toys, wooden crafts, Christmas decorations, decorations and beautiful handmade art. You will also find several places to warm your hands with a nice cup of hot mulled wine or cocoa and enjoy warm apple slices and delicate specialities. Around the town, the charming Christmas train runs, which the children love, and a couple of real reindeer also visit the town. Part of what makes Roskilde's Christmas market so cosy and special is that it doesn't actually seem very big. You get to know each other a bit and there are smiles on your face and twinkles in your eyes. It's nice and Danish - quiet, cosy and informal.

In the city's creative Musicon district, you can also experience the cosy indoor Christmas market, 'Alletiders Jul', where more than 60 stalls are set up. There are also various workshops and live entertainment.

Besides the Christmas market, Roskilde has an incredible amount of Danish history and you have a great opportunity to combine your Christmas market mini break with some sightseeing in the beautiful town. For example, visit Roskilde Museum or the Viking Ship Museum, or take a walk into the 800-year-old UNESCO-listed Roskilde Cathedral. You'll also find plenty of more traditional shopping opportunities, both in the pedestrian streets of the city centre and in the large shopping centre, RO's Torv, which houses more than 80 shops and restaurants.

Christmas market in Nyborg

The town's charming streets are decorated, and the Christmas spirit spreads over large parts of the town, where the church, the library, the museum 'Borgmestergården' and the town's cultural centre 'Bastionen' open up for lots of Christmas fun and activities for people of all ages.

The Christmas market is located in the town's main square, where the scent of roasted almonds, mulled wine, cinnamon and apple slices accompanies you around the many cosy stalls, where you will find everything from handicrafts to clothing, toys and trinkets of all kinds. The cosy wooden stalls are specially brought in, directly from Germany, creating a classic and traditional atmosphere.

At the town's museum, 'Borgermestergården', you'll find everything from furs, elves and sweets to gingerbread, porcelain and crafts in the cosy stalls. Stop by the honey stall, the brush binder, the sideboard and the tombola. During both weekends, the museum has an exciting programme where you can experience everything from the preparation of Christmas pies to the baking of cookies in the kitchen. There will be live music, storytelling and Christmas party entertainment, and regular visits from some of the museum's elves, some of whom may be up to a bit of mischief.

All this and much more can be experienced in the beautiful old royal town of Nyborg, which offers a very special historical setting. The town actually has more than 800 years of Danish history, and is home to the oldest royal castle in the Nordic countries, Nyborg Castle, which dates back to 1170.

The Christmas expert, Daniel Røde, who is behind Denmark's biggest Christmas blog, has ranked 'Christmas in the old Kongeby Nyborg' among the five most nostalgic Christmas markets in the Nordic countries. In 2017, the Christmas market in Nyborg had more than 25,000 visitors.
