Copenhagen does Christmas the Danish way: candles, hygge and gløgg with raisins and almonds. The most famous market is inside Tivoli Gardens, the 19th-century amusement park, which is transformed with lights, stalls and rides (admission charged). In the city, small markets line the colourful harbour at Nyhavn and fill Højbro Plads and Kongens Nytorv.
Don't leave without trying æbleskiver, round pancake puffs dusted with icing sugar and dipped in jam.
