27–29 November 2026 · Silje, Henrik, Marte, Ola, Hedda, Magnus
What makes this trip good: Christmas markets, a proper Danish Christmas lunch, good bars and a bit of culture
Day by day
Friday 27 November
10:00 · Danskebåten from Oslo
Board in Oslo the afternoon before and wake up in Copenhagen. Leave the bags at the hotel before lunch.
Nordhavn · activity
12:30 · Julefrokost at Schønnemann
A lunch restaurant in an old cellar: herring, smørrebrød and ice-cold snaps. Book a table well ahead.
Indre By · restaurant
17:00 · Christmas in Tivoli
Lights in the trees, gløgg and æbleskiver. Best after dark.

22:00 · Cocktails at Ruby
An old townhouse by the canal. The lounge at the back is darker and cosier.
Indre By · nightlife
Saturday 28 November
10:30 · Up the Round Tower
A spiral ramp instead of stairs, and the old town’s rooftops from the top. Good medicine after Friday.

13:00 · Christmas market in Nyhavn
Stalls along the canal, gløgg in hand and lights in the rigging of the old ships.
Nyhavn · shopping
19:30 · Julebord dinner at Kødbyens Fiskebar
Seafood in an old meat hall in the Meatpacking District. Ask for one long table for all six.
Kødbyen · restaurant
22:30 · Christmas beer at Mikkeller
A small cellar bar a short walk from dinner. Ask which Christmas beers are on tap.
Vesterbro · nightlife
Sunday 29 November
11:00 · Sunday brunch at Dyrehaven
A laid-back café on Vesterbro, not the deer park at Klampenborg. Strong coffee and nobody in a hurry.

Still in the idea bank
Plan B: the Glyptotek
If it rains: palm trees under a glass dome, and a café that looks out on the winter garden.
