Aarhusjulemarked
The Aarhusjulemarked is a Christmas market held in Ridehuset, a historic building in central Aarhus, where over 80 artisans display handmade goods from late November through mid-December. The space features crafts, decorations, and traditional products that change weekly, along with a café serving mulled wine, Danish pancakes, and holiday treats.
The market has been held at Ridehuset for over 30 years, making it one of Aarhus's oldest and most established holiday traditions. The historic venue has provided a consistent home for this cherished annual event that shapes the city's festive season.
The market serves as a gathering place where the community celebrates local craftsmanship during the holiday season. Visitors connect with artisans, learn about their work, and experience the festive spirit together as part of a shared holiday tradition.
Admission is free, and the market is open daily, making it easy to visit during the busy holiday season. Comfortable shoes are recommended since you will want to browse at a leisurely pace and take time to chat with the artisans.
The stalls rotate on a weekly basis, meaning repeat visitors will discover different artisans and products with each visit. This constant refreshment keeps the market experience new and surprising, even for those who come back year after year.

Every year, when the advent arrives, Christmas markets change the squares and old streets of European towns. Wooden stalls are set up and offer local flavors, crafts, and seasonal decorations. Walking from one stand to another, you can taste hot mulled wine, roasted almonds, and see the handmade goods that each region is proud of. In Germany, markets are found in Nuremberg, Dresden, Munich, Hamburg, and Stuttgart. Austria has markets in Vienna and Salzburg. France gathers its markets in Strasbourg, Metz, Montbéliard, and Lille. Brussels, Bruges, and Louvain welcome visitors in Belgium, Maastricht and Valkenburg in the Netherlands, and Wrocław, Krakow, and Poznań in Poland. These places tell stories about their local history and food traditions. From Prague to Budapest, passing through Zagreb, Basel, and Bern, markets are also found in Central and Eastern Europe. Scandinavian cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg, Oslo, and Rovaniemi, along with Riga and Tallinn in the Baltic states, keep this tradition alive. London, Edinburgh, Merano, Asti-Govone, and Madeira finish this winter trip across the continent, each showing how Christmas is celebrated in their ways.
