The season: autumn and winter

Friday 6 November is J-Day, St Martin’s Eve (Mortens aften) is Tuesday 10 November, and Christmas in Tivoli opens on Friday 13 November. From November the cities switch to Christmas: Christmas markets, festive programmes in the amusement parks and concerts in the churches. We add events to the city pages as soon as dates and prices are confirmed by the organisers.

Already planning the winter? See our guide to New Year’s Eve in Copenhagen.
