The City Hall Square Christmas market is announced for 11 to 20 December 2026 in front of Copenhagen City Hall, and it suits a short December trip that wants a free market a short walk from Tivoli. Its opening hours weren't confirmed on 10 October 2026, so check before you plan an evening around it.

This is the market that used to fill Højbro Plads, and its team says it is moving to City Hall Square for 2026. Copenhagen's visitor service describes wooden huts selling decorations and gifts between Christmas lights and decorated trees, with hot drinks and food. Entry is free. Tivoli is a short walk away on Vesterbrogade, so the two fit into one evening.
Worth knowing
- The visitor service lists a provisional 11:00 to 18:00 for 11 December and says the exact hours come later.
- The run is short, so if you're in Copenhagen before 11 December use the markets on Nytorv and Højbro Plads instead.
