Christmas Walk through Inner Copenhagen

Experience Copenhagen's Christmas history on a guided walk through the historic city center. Learn about the origins of Christmas traditions, explore the meaning behind Christmas games, and hear fascinating stories about the Lucia custom.

The walk runs through the Medieval City's Latin Quarter, where you'll see contrasts between affluent and less privileged residential areas, as well as discover local secrets and small shortcuts. Along the way, you'll encounter historical figures such as N.F.S. Grundtvig and Peter Faber, and hear about the curious case of Solvognen's fake Santa Claus at Magasin in 1974 – an event that caused both considerable confusion and great crowds.
