Christmas in the Old Town free of charge

As we approach Christmas, entrance to the Old Town is free of charge for students on the first four days of the week (from 4 to 6 pm only). Take your student ID card with you for free entrance to all the best bits of Christmas up until 22 December.

The traditional Christmas market is open again this year, and there are guided tours each day at 4.30 and 5.30 pm. These tours are known as “Lys i mørket” (“Light in the Darkness”) – visitors will be equipped with lanterns to help them find their way around.

This year you can also see what Christmas was like back in the 1970s.
