Old Town Christmas Market
We'll be the first to admit that we're no tour guides, but if there is one area we know like the back of our hands, it's our homeland Sweden – no question. And for those of you lucky enough to have a Swedish holiday on your calendar this month, well, you just got luckier, because below you'll find a list of our favorite places in the area to visit with family and friends, as well as a few key bar suggestions (honestly, would we leave that out?). For those of you not planning a Swedish holiday in your near future, well, we suggest you start soon.
What: Old Town Christmas Market
Why: Some houses in Old Town Stockholm date back to the mid 1400s, and it's a perfect place to spend an afternoon strolling around looking into art galleries and coffee shops. Every year they arrange a Christmas market where you can buy your gifts, drink Glögg (Swedish hot spiced wine) and stroll to your heart's content.
Kanon Tip: Every day at 12:15 PM weekdays or 1:15 PM on weekends, the royal guards change shifts. Make sure to walk up to the castle at the right time to catch this military spectacle.
