Denmark's Best Christmas Market

Christmas is filled with magic, twinkling lights and heartwarming traditions – but where can you find Denmark's Best Christmas Market? Is it among the enchanting lights of the Tivoli Gardens, in the historic surroundings of Egeskov Castle, or at a small, local Christmas market with a truly special atmosphere?
