H.C. Andersen Christmas Market (Gammeltorv)
🧒 With kids✨ Date nightWhat's there
- Red huts, each named after a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale
- Thousands of Christmas lights around Gammeltorv
- Santa in one of the houses most afternoons
- Roasted almonds, gløgg and hot chocolate
- You may meet a costumed H.C. Andersen
What visitors sayGoogle 4.3 ★ · 140 reviews
Visitors praise the cosiness: beautiful decorations, the smell of roasted almonds, music and H.C. Andersen walking around. Many, however, find the market smaller than expected, with mostly food, souvenirs and slightly high prices, and locals on Reddit call it German sausages and glühwein in Alpine huts.
An atmospheric stop in the inner city. Come for the cosiness and the children's Santa, not for shopping.

The reviews mostly date from the market's time at Kongens Nytorv: some praised local producers and the Christmas lights, others missed the old, bigger market. On Reddit locals call the inner-city markets touristy and warn about stalls that take payment in euros, so always pay in kroner.
The most central Christmas market in Copenhagen. Good for a walk with gløgg and skating, less so for gift shopping.

What visitors say
The Christmas decorations and lights get almost only praise, and many call the garden magical and come every year. The big complaint is the crowding: on December weekends guests describe up to half an hour in the queue at the entrance and long waits at the rides, and food prices are called high.
Denmark's strongest Christmas experience, but go on a weekday and eat beforehand if your budget is tight.
