Since 1914, the main square in Stockholm's Gamla Stan has hosted a traditional Swedish Christmas fair. Stock up on presents and warm up with candy and glögg. Surrounded by snow and medieval architecture, you can't get more Christmassy than this.
The stunning surrounds of 800-year-old Gamla Stan make an appropriate setting for this festive event. As Stockholm's old town, its narrow laneways and cobbled streets add an authentic old-world atmosphere to Christmas festivities.
Avoiding much of the crass commercialism found during Christmas in other European capitals, Stockholm's Christmas Fair comprises a cluster of wooden stalls that sell traditional toys and local delicacies and both children and adults can while away hours exploring the curios and trinkets on offer. Pick up a handmade memento before making your way home by candlelight.
