Christmas in Denmark
With the onset of the first Friday in November, Denmark plunges into the pre-holiday turmoil and begins to prepare for Christmas. The signal is the release of the first batch of Christmas beer of the year and the start of sales in local department stores. Is this not a reason to go on an exciting journey and celebrate Christmas in Denmark? Every adult who has kept in his soul childish mischief and passion for adventure dreams of visiting a country that seems to have descended from the pages of the good old and good fairy tales of Andersen.
Silk hearts
The capital of the kingdom is old Copenhagen. It is he who takes the brunt of the blow. Here they decorate the country's largest Christmas tree, and a large glass cube is erected on the square near the Town Hall, into which everyone can put a donation for children from poor countries. The square is adorned with hundreds of Christmas lights and hearts carved from scarlet silk.
Christmas in Denmark is both the scent of cinnamon and spices for mulled wine floating over the cities, and fabulous gnomes in souvenir shops, and red bows in wreaths on every door, and candles on the windows in honor of the brightest and happiest day of the year..
Tivoli for admirers of the beautiful
The famous Danish Tivoli Park is the Christmas symbol of Copenhagen. It is decorated with thousands of multi-colored lights, and from the observation deck, opened on the Round Tower, the capital of Denmark is visible at a glance. This place is popular with fans of photography.
Ice skating on Kongens Nytorv Square is another must-see on Christmas Day in Denmark. Warm up before or after with a glass of signature glögg at a nearby café, officially recognized as the Christmas drink in Andersen's country. By the way, the festive Danish table includes many other delicacies. It is customary here to cook fried pork with boiled potatoes, red cabbage in a special gravy, sweet rice pudding with almonds, vanilla cream and cherry jam.
Souvenir joys
What is a tourist without buying souvenirs? Every shopaholic has something to do at Christmas in Denmark. The largest city fair has been buzzing for many weeks in the capital's New Harbor, the range of which will be the envy of any European department store. At the bazaar in Christiania, you can choose handmade clothes and accessories associated with traditional folk patterns, and in the courtyard of the Royal Cafe you can taste a festive menu of sweets and desserts.
Denmark is a country with a rich historical past. But not only the sights so beckon her guests here, but also a special fabulous spirit that allows every adult to stay a little longer in childhood..
