Getting to Tivoli

Tivoli is in the centre of Copenhagen, around 500 metres from Nytorv and Gammeltorv, where the Christmas market is held from 6 November to 21 December 2026. Copenhagen is reached by air from France, Belgium, Switzerland, London, Madrid and Rome; compare the direct flights for winter 2026-2027 with the airlines and on the airport’s website, some routes are seasonal. The Oslo Christmas market and the Stockholm Christmas market complete a tour of the Nordic capitals.

Our tip

The Nytorv, Gammeltorv and Højbro Plads markets close on 20 and 21 December: between Christmas and New Year, Tivoli keeps its Christmas decor until 3 January 2027. Reread the closing days around 24 December and the ticket price on tivoli.dk before you book.
