08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
November is dark and often rainy, with afternoons around 7 °C and daylight down to eight hours, but Tivoli's Christmas season opens in the third week as the main reason to come, with the gardens lit by half a million lights and the market stalls open until ten. Christmas markets start in Nyhavn, at Kongens Nytorv and at Højbro Plads in the last week. Rates are among the lowest of the year.
J-dag, the first Friday of November, launches the Christmas beer at pubs across the city at nine in the evening, a Danish tradition. Rain or sleet falls on about twelve days. The first frost arrives mid-month. The museums are empty on weekday mornings. For the full Christmas atmosphere with the shortest days, see December.
