Know Before You Go

  • Tickets: Free entry; free ice rink and skate rental.

Tips & Advice

  • 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.
