What you need to know
- Two places to watch: see the parade set off from Nyhavn, or wait by the tree on Rådhuspladsen where it ends
- Dress for the cold, since you stand outdoors on an open square as the light fades
- Get near the tree early, since that is where Santa and his helpers hand out the candy bags
About
Copenhagen has lit a Christmas tree on Rådhuspladsen for over 100 years, and the lighting is an afternoon built around kids. Santa and his nisse helpers ride in from Nyhavn with the fire service's Christmas procession, then hand out candy bags by the tree. The city's school orchestra sings carols, the Lord Mayor speaks, and Santa helps switch on the lights. It suits kids young enough to wave at Santa.
