Christmas Market Gamla Stan
Architectural Landmark
Stockholm has a number of Christmas markets spaced across the city but the one in Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s old city, is particularly special. Granted, it’s a little touristy and can get quite busy, but it’s also atmospheric, full of delicious food and drink, and blessed with a brilliant selection of beautiful handmade Swedish handicrafts. It is held in Stora Torget, the main square in Gamla Stan opposite the Nobel Museum, and in the shadow of the royal palace. It’s a cozy, calm, and charming and fun place to spend a winter’s day or evening.
