Our favourite experiences

Nothing says Christmas magic like frosty cheeks, ice skating at full speed and hot chocolate with whipped cream. Take the Metro to some of Copenhagen's cosiest ice rinks and glide out onto the ice surrounded by glittering Christmas lights.

Whether Copenhagen's streets are covered in a fine layer of snow or not, you can always enjoy plenty of ice-cold experiences in the city. We guide you to five of the best here – with the Metro right on your doorstep.

My Copenhagen: Ballet dancer Nadia Skriver Rosenby plays the title role in Tivoli's Christmas show, The Snow Queen. When she is not on stage, she loves to seek out the hidden garden behind the Glyptotek, where there is a very special tranquility.
