    Visit Copenhagen should really consider sponsoring you guys.
    You notice stuff the locals doesn't think about... and that American marketing spirit is really something Danes could use more of 😄
    Anyway, yes, DK is nice through Xmas if you remember the right wear.

      I couldn't disagree more. I would be very sad, if Denmark adopted more american marketing spirit.
      One of the most beautifull things about Denmark (and the rest of Scandinavia) is that not everything is hyper commercialized.

    I went to CPH just this Friday-Saturday and went looking for Christmas markets. What a disappointment to realize that all of them were placed on cobbled stones, some even having steps and no ramps which made them pretty uninteresting for a wheelchair user like me. The most accessible one which still had quite a few obstacles was the one on Kgs Nytorv. In the end we decided to go to Tivoli instead - but like half a million other people had the same idea, so we gave up as we only had about 2 hours left before we had to head for the train station.

      Yes, sadly there's not much left for Christmas markets, but New Years will be a lot of fireworks (like, a very significant amount haha) and celebrations around the city can depend what you're looking for - plenty of options to go out for dinner or to a bar, but most locals hold a house party, commonly dinner parties too.

    It's kinda offensive to see you take a sip of snaps. What barbarians have taught you that? You drink it from a shot glass and in one go, but only when sitting around a table for "julefrokost". (Complicated christmas meal, that I'm not even sure how to describe in a few words.)
    The rest of the year snaps should be poured in the toilet to keep it clean.
