From 14 November to 20 December 2026, the historic square provides the setting for a Christmas market celebrating traditions from across the Danish Realm. Here, visitors can explore different festive flavours and crafts while getting a glimpse of how Christmas is celebrated across Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

Located right in the city centre, Højbro Plads makes an easy stop while exploring Copenhagen during the Christmas season. Take a break from sightseeing, browse the market and experience the festive atmosphere before continuing through the surrounding streets and squares.

The market brings different Christmas traditions together in one place, making it an opportunity to discover more than the familiar side of a Copenhagen Christmas. Food, craftsmanship and seasonal traditions provide an introduction to the similarities and differences that characterise Christmas across the three countries.

Whether you are spending a winter weekend in Copenhagen or simply passing through the city centre, Christmas at Højbro Plads offers a festive addition to a day in the city.

Christmas at Højbro Plads runs from 14 November to 20 December 2026.
