Stockholm is a tremendously beautiful city and the Old Town, with its picturesque cobblestone streets, is the perfect setting for the annual Christmas markets. The scent of warm gingerbread and hot cinnamon beckons as festive lights twinkle brightly against the backdrop of old fashioned market stalls, creating a charming Christmas atmosphere. Traditional handmade arts and crafts, local delicacies and glögg, a delicious hot and spicy mulled wine, are just some of the many wonderful treats available. The enchanting St Lucia Festival is also celebrated at this time of year, and a glimpse of candle light parades or young children dressed in colourful costumes singing Christmas favourites is a very special sight. Stockholm also offers a wide selection of world-class museums and attractions including the Vasa Museum, many within walking distance of your hotel.
