Welcome to a traditional Christmas market set in an atmospheric environment, where the surroundings create the feeling of stepping into an old-fashioned Christmas postcard.
Meet the Santa family and their reindeer, stroll among historic buildings, listen to musical performances, go on a fairytale walk, learn more about old Swedish Christmas traditions and go Christmas gift hunting among our market vendors.

The parking fee is 40 SEK per vehicle if you park at any of our attended parking lots. The proceeds go the associations that manages the parking. The parking attendants ensure accessibility for emergency vehicles in the event of an accident and ensure that no cars are parked in.
