Christmas Shopping in Viborg
Would you like to combine Christmas shopping with genuine cosiness and atmosphere? Then visit Viborg in December. Here, the beautiful city centre is transformed into a Christmas wonderland where you can stroll from shop to shop, surrounded by Christmas lights, fir trees and little experiences along the way.
Everything that makes Christmas shopping special
In the pedestrian streets – especially Sct. Mathias Gade and Gravene – you will find small specialty shops, well-known chains and cafés tempting you with hot drinks and Christmas treats. There is room for gift hunting, spontaneous Christmas shopping and cosy breaks along the way.
Feel the atmosphere and experience the magic of Christmas
On weekends, the city buzzes with life. You can meet Santa Claus, take part in fun activities or join in when Christmas parades and elves bring the streets to life. There is always something going on – even for children, who can go on an elf treasure hunt or peek inside the Christmas workshops.
Christmas market at Nytorv
In the middle of it all, you will find the Christmas market at Nytorv – an atmospheric gathering place with small stalls, lights and the scents of Christmas. Here you can explore handmade gifts, Christmas treats and hot drinks while Christmas music plays in the background and the city's Christmas tree lights up the winter darkness.
A moment of calm amid the Christmas rush
When you need a break, stop by Viborg Cathedral. The beautiful building stands illuminated in the middle of the city and is the perfect place to find peace and let the Christmas spirit sink in. The historic houses around the church also create a special atmosphere that you won't find many other places.
