European Christmas markets are iconic, and none are more magical than those in Copenhagen. Imagine floating along the canal with its snow-topped banks, sipping on glögg to stay warm, seeing the dazzling light displays in the quaint shop windows and adorning the boats. Notes of Christmas carols drift your way from the street performers playing in the markets and on the enchanting street corners. You may get swept up in the holiday spirit and never want to leave!
