Stoccolma, Svezia

Il programma nel dettaglio

Have you ever experienced Christmas in Stockholm? The falling snowflakes light up the Nordic Winter darkness, the smell of roasted almonds hits you as you wander down the Christmassy streets of Stockholm. The Christmas bells rattle in the wind, a choir is singing somewhere nearby. Has your Christmas spirit arrived yet? Get to know the Swedish way of celebrating this special time of year and what Christmas in Stockholm is like.



During your walking tour of cozy Gamla Stan, you will learn about where the custom of placing advent candles in the window comes from, what a julbord is, who the bearer of light is and what Swedish Santa looks like. In other words - what Christmas in Stockholm looks like for a Swede, and how they get their Christmas spirit on. When the cold hits your bones, we’ll give you some mulled wine, which will make you warm and fuzzy again.



When the wintry breeze of Jack Frost’s breath hits your skin, we’ll make a stop inside, treating you to a taste of non-alcoholic glögg, or mulled wine, which will make you all warm and fuzzy inside again. And who can say no to a gingerbread cookie to dip in their mulled wine? As you sip your warm drink, you can close your eyes and imagine what most Swedes and locals are doing on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in December. Now warmed up and prepared to brace the cold again, our search for Stockholm’s Christmas Spirit is complete. Can you feel it in the air?!
