What is Jule Lukket? (closed for the holidays)

Christmas is a big holiday in Denmark. Most shops are closed on the 24th-26th (both days included) and again on the 31st + January 1st.

Some of the smaller supermarkets will be open on specific times, maybe for a shorter period than normal. Each supermarket chain will have this on their website – look for åbningstider (i julen).

If you attend a sport, they will most likely also take a holiday break over Christmas and New Year – your local coach will know.

This year many of the days off over the holidays are during a weekend, but you will most likely experience that your Danish colleagues will take at least the week between the 24th and 31st off – many also some days before and after.

If you plan on working over the holidays, make sure to ask your manager what he/she expects in regard to e.g., the days that are national holidays and home office (do you have to come to the office, when so many are on vacation).

Contact Newcomer Service

You are always welcome to contact me if you have any questions about life in Vejle.

I am out of office December 23rd - January 3rd (both days included).

Feel free to still send me an email - my auto reply will contain answers to the most common questions.

Kind Regards Louise
