The stalls fill both Nytorv and Gammeltorv, which meet beside the Domhuset courthouse on Strøget. Entry is free, and the organizer doesn't charge for the ice rink or the skate hire either, so an hour on the ice with children costs nothing. The organizer puts the market about 200 metres from City Hall Square, so you can walk between this one and Tivoli in a few minutes.
Come on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening if you want the stalls lit after dark for longest. The market stays open until 20:00 on Thursday and 21:00 on Friday and Saturday. The organizer's site has a section on meeting Santa with activities for children, though it gave no times when we read it on 10 October 2026.
Worth knowing
- Gammel Strand metro station is about five minutes' walk away, according to the organizer.
- Sunday opening is an hour later than the rest of the week, at 12:00.
- The market's last day is Monday 21 December 2026, so it's gone before Christmas Eve.
