Visit The Christmas Markets On City Breaks To Stockholm
Scandinavia is especially beautiful in the Christmas season and the compact nature of the Swedish capital makes it the ideal Christmas shopping destination. You will find everything you need thanks to the array of Christmas markets and designer stores. Gamla Stan, in Stockholm’s old town and Skanses, the world’s oldest open-air museum are home to the best Christmas markets in the city. After a long day spent taking in the festive sights and buying gifts to fill the stockings of friends and families, visitors can enjoy a deliciously indulgent Christmas smorgasbord, drink glögg, take a spin around the festive ice rink, visit the marzipan boat moored at Nybrokajen or stay in the city centre. Stockholm really does have Christmas covered and city breaks to the city are a fantastic way to celebrate the festive period whilst getting your Christmas shopping done.
You can smell Christmas with chestnuts roasting, gingerbread and cinnamon buns baking and wine mullling. The Christmas markets in Stockholm are spread out across the 14 islands of the city, with several in the historic and beautiful Old Town. Take a boat over to Skansen and take part in numerous festive activities such as candle making. Kungsträdgården Christmas market is not only one of the best around, but is in the heart of the shopping district.

Whilst shopping and enjoying local cakes and pastries you can marvel at the ancient ruins of Taxinge Castle with this magical Christmas market.
