Christmas market in Stockholm is a must when Christmas is approaching. The narrow cobbled streets of Stockholm's Gamla Stan provide the perfect setting for the city's adventurous Christmas markets, which complete the experience with fragrant Christmas specialities and unique Christmas gift ideas. In November and December, Sweden's capital is the setting for a truly fantastic Christmas atmosphere.

With church bells ringing from above, Stockholm welcomes Christmas spirit in a class of its own. Everywhere in the city, streets and shops are decorated with lots of lights and Christmas decorations. The smell of roasting almonds and chestnuts mingles with mulled wine and gingerbread to bring out the Christmas spirit in children and adults alike. In the market stalls, traders welcome you with homemade traditional Christmas decorations, handmade toys and lots of local produce.

The most traditional of the Christmas markets can be found at Skansen, Stockholm's famous open-air museum. Here you can, among other things, cast candles, bake old-fashioned bread and watch craftsmen make their products while you watch.

The city's oldest square, Stortorget in Gamla Stan, is home to the city's most beautifully decorated Christmas market. The traditional Christmas market has a history that goes back over 100 years and helps to create a historic atmosphere throughout the square. This is only further enhanced by the surrounding medieval buildings and cobbled streets. The atmosphere is completed by the traditional red Christmas stalls.

For those where the Christmas markets are not enough, Stockholm offers a number of shops where it is possible to do a lot of shopping. Stockholm is therefore a great opportunity to find a Christmas gift, which is often available cheaper than in Denmark.
