- Take public transport to Gammel Strand metro station, then walk about five minutes to reach the market.
- Use the market’s location beside Strøget and the Courthouse as landmarks when finding the squares.
- Try the on-site ice rink and use the free skate rental, so you do not need to bring skates.
- Sample hot cocoa or gløgg from the market stalls while you browse.
- Wear warm layers for browsing the outdoor market and skating, since both activities involve spending time outside in winter.
