You may at first think going to a place as far north as Copenhagen during winter would not be a great idea. However, there is plenty this vibrant city has to offer you if you visit during this time.
From unique sauna experiences to enjoyable outdoor activities only possible in freezing temperatures, Copenhagen is a delightful place to visit during winter. Here are some of the best experiences you can have on winter break in Copenhagen.
Go Ice Skating
The quintessence of winter can be found in the timeless experience of ice skating. You do not even have to know how to ice skate, because you will have fun regardless. In Copenhagen, you get to choose from several ice skating rinks throughout the city. You do not even have to pay anything to get onto the rink besides renting ice skates. This is a must for anyone spending winter break in Copenhagen.
Visit Gorgeous Castles
Castles clad in snow looking like they came out of a fairy tale abound in Copenhagen. There are several castles left over from Denmark’s monarchical past. You have your pick of several tours taking you to places such as Frederiksburg and Kronberg. You can also plan a self-guided tour and experience your personal winter fairy tale at your own pace.
Go to a Sauna
Going to a sauna is a Nordic tradition, especially during winter. Let your body completely relax by going to a sauna. Since this is Denmark, you have many options for where to go. You will find several scenic saunas on Copenhagen’s waterfront, where you get spectacular views as a nice bonus. If you want a truly unique experience, you can even go on a sailing spa out on the open water.

There are plenty of streets in Copenhagen that only allow pedestrian traffic. One of the most beautiful of all of these is Kronprinsensgade. It transforms into an even more charming version of itself during the winter thanks to the holiday lights. The famously-colorful buildings look extraordinary when surrounded by snow and festive decor.
