Christmas celebrations kick-off in Malmö on 30th November with “Shop Window Sunday” when the city’s shops try to out-do each other with the most attractive window display. It’s quite a sight as there are more than 800 shops and counting in Malmö.
Strolling along the narrow cobblestone streets of Gamla Stan (the Old Town) in Stockholm, the snow crunching and creaking beneath your feet, you are part of a scene from Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” – the church bells ring out and the streets and alleyways open into squares playing host to centuries-old Xmas markets.
The festive season in Sweden really kicks off in the first week of Advent, when the first of four Advent candles is lit.
Gothenburg is putting on her Xmas finest just for you. The glittering Christmas illuminations stretch from Liseberg amusement park, past Götaplatsen, along Avenyn, the city’s main boulevard, and all the way to down to the city’s harbour.
The mother of all Smorgardsbord... Many small, delicious specialties wait on the buffet table to be enjoyed over many hours, good conversation and fine spirits. No one will leave hungry!
