Do we need to buy tickets in advance?

Skansen sells tickets online ahead of time through its market page. Buy them before you go rather than sorting it out at the entrance.

What is there for kids to eat?

The stalls sell waffles, kolbullar (a traditional Swedish fried pancake), roasted almonds, marzipan, Christmas bread and glögg.

It's Stockholm in late November and December, and much of the market is outdoors. Dress kids in layers, a hat and warm boots.

About

A Christmas market on Djurgården that has run since 1903, with stalls of crafts in textile, wood, ceramic and wool, plus marzipan, Christmas bread and hand-dipped candles. For kids, the draw is Santa's workshop, where they make their own Christmas craft, then dancing around the tree and carols in Seglora church. Much of it is outdoors, so dress for the cold.

Kids 0-15 free, adults pay entry
