Welcome to visit this famous, oldest and most traditional Christmas Market in Stockholm with a special cheery festive atmosphere! It opens 2010 on Nov 20 and is then open daily between 1100 and 1800 hours until Dec 23.

It is located in the heart of the Old Town (Gamla Stan) at Stortorget square (close to the Royal Palace).

In our market you will find Swedish Christmas sweets, smoked sausages, reindeer- and elkmeat and other delicacies, glögg (mulled wine) and a range of Swedish handicrafts and decorative arts of high-quality workmanship.

Swedens many unique traditions are intimitaly connected with the seasons and the light.
