Skansen Christmas Market
The ideal place to do your Christmas shopping and imbibe some
true traditional Scandinavian Christmas spirit is the huge Skansen
Christmas market, which draws about 25,000 visitors every weekend
in the run-up to the festive season. The historic houses and
homesteads that make up the outdoor museum radiate music and warmth
while revellers admire craft products, sample the traditional
Swedish Christmas brew called ‘glõgg’, and dance
around the Christmas tree. Shops and stores are packed with gift
ideas, ornaments, tempting sweets and Christmas fare.

Date: 28 - 29 November, 5 - 6, 12 - 13 and 19 - 20 December 2009;
