Wrapped in a cozy coat with a scarf and gloves, it's always a good idea to follow the smell of mulled wine, roasted almonds, sausages and spiced punch at Christmas time. As December rolls around, Europe's famous Christmas markets are an absolute must-do for locals and tourists alike. And, when you stroll through the wooden 'hoods filled with handcrafted art and lovely gifts, you'll realise why locals can’t wait for Christmas to arrive each year.

From hot dog stands to Michelin starred restaurants, a trip to Copenhagen is not complete until you've sampled and savoured the local delicacies.
