Get your holiday mood on! Wander the alleys of Stockholm’s Old Town as we fill you in on what a typical Swedish Christmas is like. A Christmas market, mulled wine and customs, can you feel Stockholm’s Christmas Spirit in the air!
The story about the tour
“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir and folks dressed up like Eskimos…” It’s time to get in the holiday mood with our Stockholm’s Christmas Spirit Private Walking Tour! If you are planning a vacation for December, you have to experience what Christmas in Stockholm is like. It’s magical!
Forget about the turkey; during Christmas in Sweden, it’s all about the julskinka, or Christmas ham. There are also traditions of advent candelabras, Christmas stars, Lucia Day celebrations and kids having a hard time sleeping whilst waiting for Santa, or as we say in Sweden: Tomten. Christmas markets dot the city map, one of which is located right here in the Old Town, on the main square, Stortorget. Though our stop will be short, we definitely recommend coming back after the tour to take a look around and perhaps do some Christmas gift shopping!
So what are you waiting for? Santa’s invitation? Seize the opportunity to wander the cosy streets of Stockholm’s Old Town with your private guide to see what Christmas in Stockholm is all about. When Jack Frost does start nipping at your nose, we’ll treat you to a taste of non-alcoholic mulled wine or Glögg in Swedish. While sipping warm Glögg and nibbling on gingerbread cookies, your guide will share marvellous stories that make up the Christmas traditions of the Swedes long ago and today.
December and Christmas in Stockholm are magical! We can assure you that when our time together is up, you’ll have enough Christmas spirit to last you until next year!

Happy Nobel Day! 💡 As Nobel Week was cancelled in 2020, Nobel lectures, prizes and banquets were replaced with Nobel Week Lights - light installations inspired by Nobel Prize-awarded findings and laureates. As the festivities are now back, we sure hope that we are so lucky that the artwork brightening up the city during the darkest month of the year; is a December tradition that has come to stay. 💫
🇸🇪
Nobeldagen är här! 💡 Nobelveckan blev inställd 2020, och istället för Nobelföreläsningar, prisutdelning och bankett genomfördes Nobel Week Lights som är ljusinstallationer inspirerade av Nobelpris på olika platser i Stockholm. Det blev så uppskattat att det genomförs i år igen trots att Nobelveckan är återinförd. Har vi tur så är det en decembertradition som kommit för att stanna. 💫

It’s a contested issue amongst numerous Baltic connected countries as to who invented the Ice-skate. Was it the Finns or the Dutch? All of this is irrelevant because the best city to ice-skate in is Stockholm. If you want to show off your Quadruple Axel in front of the masses, the ice-rink in Kungsträdgården is the perfect location. ✨⛸️✨

Don`t let its controversy cloud your curiosity as Christianshavns characteristic slanting roofs and canals, as well as the tremendous Church of Our Saviour, are well worth seeing. Not to forget the Færgecafé or Café Parterre who are both worth visiting.

A few hundred years ago, if you asked a Norwegian how old they were they might reply “I have seen forty winters!” Every year of life was a success! Now, living conditions are of course much improved, but there is no such thing as a mild winter here. Bring thermal underwear, wool and grow a beard... if you can. ❄️☃️☃️
Of course, if you love the snow and want to ski, then you`re in the perfect place, and you get to see the beauty of Oslo in a truly Nordic light! The canvas of white snow - unpredictable but usually arriving in November/December - can provide a canvas of light across the city that makes up for the few hours of sunlight the people of Oslo get to enjoy. While still beautiful, it`s best to stay inside! ✨✨

The temperature might not be super-cold in Winter in Copenhagen, but strong winds make it quite chilly. 🌬 The city is still quite magical. 🌟 The Christmas markets open already in the middle of November so that you can warm up with a hot Gløgg! Expect 10 to 13 rainy days per month.

The first snow is here with us in Stockholm! 😍❄
Södermalm (the South Island) is the largest of all the islands that make up Stockholm. For the majority of Stockholm`s existence, it has been the home of the poor and the working class. Not anymore! Today, the hipsters have well and truly transformed Södermalm into a trendy place to live, work and play. 🐱👓

What`s a better winter activity than museum hopping? Not much, if you ask us. Let us introduce you to Bygdøy (also known as museum heaven), the peninsula in Oslo where you find a big collection of museums close to each other. Perfect! ❄️

Our favourite time of the year is here! 🎅🏻🎄 If you are in Stockholm for this festive season, make sure you make it a tasty one 😋 and try:
🌟 Freshly baked saffron buns, also called “lussekatter”, preferably filled with almond paste.
🌟 Gingerbread cookies and having them with blue cheese, it’s an odd yet delicious combo, we promise!
🌟 Freshly made candy cane, if you pop into @gamlastanspolka and find them baking the candy canes, they often let you try the mix. Soft candy cane should be a thing!
