How Does It Compare to Other Copenhagen Christmas Markets?

Like Julemarked i Remisen, this is a short, indoor market in Østerbro – but The Lab is one day only, a week later, and leans more towards design, vintage and a sit-down kitchen. If you want the big central markets, head into town afterwards for Jul På Højbro Plads or Nytorv & Gammeltorv. See our complete guide to Copenhagen Christmas markets.
