In most aspects of Christmas I avoid anything too early (so before December and the start of Advent) however I am starting to notice a lot of great Christmas markets being advertised in the various social media platforms I follow so I thought I would put together a few of the ones I think sound great here. Do bookmark this page as I will add more that catch my eye as the time goes on. I haven’t listed some of the bigger ones here but Visit Copenhagen has a decent list of these here.

I have listed these in chronological order below (if they run for longer than one weekend I list them at the start and add that information into the entry). This is my lists of what I have seen that I think sounds interesting, of course there are loads more things going on across the city.
