Christmas markets in Copenhagen

Earlier this month Real Scandinavia listed some of the best Christmas markets in Sweden. Of course, Sweden is not the only one of the Nordic countries to have a great tradition of holiday markets. Laura Stadler-Jensen, an American living in Denmark, has compiled a list of Christmas markets in Copenhagen. She writes:

There is no place like Scandinavia during Christmastime. And although it’s often cold, rainy and/or snowy and dark, the city transforms into one of the coziest places on earth this time of year. Tasteful decorations are all around from huge red, light-filled hearts strung along the street lights, to warm-glowing candles in cafes, ice skating and beautiful displays in shop windows. There are also a host of traditions in Denmark that help put you in the Christmas spirit. One of my most cherished is going to Christmas markets. Handmade arts and crafts, including ingeniously designed house wares and other practical things are usually available. In addition, museums and specialty shops often arrange holiday exhibitions that are not to miss.
