Did you know that Danish Christmas is a fascinating mix of Roman, Nordic and Christian culture, spiced with inspiration from Sweden, Germany and the United States? But did you also know that our beloved Rice à la mande is actually a genuine Danish invention — and originally a poor man's dish?

Join us on an enchanting Christmas tour through beautifully decorated Copenhagen, where you will delve into the origins of Christmas traditions. Learn about the differences between the Christmas of the poor and the rich, who invented the braided Christmas hearts, and what the old naughty Christmas games were all about.

Are you curious about where the Advent wreath, Christmas gifts and Christmas cards actually come from? Or who got the idea to place the big Christmas tree in the middle of City Hall Square?

On this charming tour you will not only refresh your Christmas spirit — you will also have the opportunity to relive everything you might have forgotten about the holidays. Join us on a Christmas walk through the bright lights and decked streets of Copenhagen and learn more about the hidden stories of Christmas.

The tour starts in front of the main entrance to Det Kgl. Theatre
