Christmas market in Nyborg

Open 2nd - 3rd December - You can visit the Christmas market's own website with current information

Visit the cosy Funen Christmas market when, during the first two weekends of December, the 'Christmas in the Old Royal Town' in Nyborg is set up. 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.
