Evening Christmas atmosphere in the Old Town Den Gamle By
Evening Christmas (Aftenjul) is a very special Christmas experience that descends on Den Gamle By - the Old Town Museum after dark. Experience how the light slowly changes as you walk from an illuminated pedestrianised street and back in time to the atmospheric sparse lighting in the older part of the city.
Christmas in the dark
Before electric lights and twinkling Christmas decorations, winter was dark and light was something to be saved. Experience how the light slowly changes as you walk from an illuminated pedestrianised street and back in time to the atmospheric sparse lighting in the oldest part of the city.
400 years of Christmas history
Follow the red lanterns through Den gamle By and explore the traditions and history of Christmas. See how Christmas has been celebrated for 400 years and enter people's homes to see how they have decorated for Christmas throughout the ages.
Meet the Danish Nisser
In Denmark, there are Nisser, which are little people who help Father Christmas throughout December. Discover this land of Nisser and explore the Nisseloftet, where the furniture is magical and turns all children into little Nisser.
Tales by the fireplace
Take a Christmas tour at Evening Christmas. Christmas is a time for cosiness and storytelling. When the winter darkness fills the street, we gather around the light and warmth. At Tales by the Stove, we invite you inside the Mint Master's House for Christmas stories in the glow of the fire's flames.
