A Christmas Day in Skagen
The Christmas atmosphere in Skagen is all about cosy shops, culture, great food, and the special sense of calm that settles over the town during the winter months. Here is a suggestion for how to spend a day in Skagen at Christmas.
Start the Day with Coffee
Begin your day at Skagens Bageri, where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee and a sweet treat before setting off to explore the town.
Explore the Festively Decorated Town
Take a stroll through Skagen’s charming streets, where Christmas decorations create a cosy backdrop for the town’s many speciality shops, artisans, and local producers. Several shops are also open on the fourth Sunday of Advent.
Art and Creativity at Skagens Museum
Stop by Skagens Museum and discover the world-famous Skagen Painters. During the Christmas season, the museum also hosts a cosy Christmas workshop on Sundays, where both children and adults can enjoy seasonal creative activities.
Lunch and Mulled Wine at Brøndums Hotel
On the same street as the museum, you will find Brøndums Hotel, where traditional Danish open-faced sandwiches are served in a historic setting. The hotel is steeped in history, and a visit feels almost like stepping back in time. Finish your meal with a glass of mulled wine and some Christmas biscuits before continuing your day.
Experience Skagen in Winter
If you would like some fresh air between activities, a visit to The Buried Church or a walk through Skagen Klitplantage is a wonderful way to experience the unique winter atmosphere that characterises Skagen during the Christmas season.
End the Day with a Memorable Dinner
Just a short drive, or a pleasant walk, from The Buried Church lies Color Hotel Skagen, where you can round off your day at Restaurant Holger. The restaurant’s menu is based on the finest seasonal ingredients, and during Christmas the warm and welcoming surroundings provide the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. If you would like to extend your stay, the hotel is an ideal place to spend the night and wake up to another day in Skagen.
