Hotels near Christiania Christmas Market

Freetown Christiania, the alternative community founded in 1971 in former military barracks, hosts one of Copenhagen's most unusual Christmas markets in its Grey Hall (Den Grå Hal). The indoor market is known for handmade crafts, clothing, jewellery and gifts from local makers, with a relaxed, creative atmosphere.

It usually runs for a couple of weeks in December, and food and drink stalls add to the festive mood. Christiania has its own rules, and photography is restricted in some areas, so follow the signs.

Check Christiania's official channels for 2026 dates, which are usually announced in the autumn. It is the most alternative Copenhagen Christmas market on this list.

Pro Tip: Combine the market with a walk through Christianshavn's canals and a climb up the spiral tower of the Church of Our Saviour for views over the city, weather permitting.
