Gothenburg's Christmas Markets
Spend the next two days enjoying all the festive fun that Gothenburg has to offer. We recommend heading to Liseberg Christmas Market where close to five million glimmering lights create a remarkable display around the 80 or so rustic market stalls, selling all manner of arts, crafts and festive food, with the chance to sample Swedish goodies such as marzipan pigs and traditional glög, a warming mulled spiced wine.
There's also an ice-skating rink, a myriad of children's rides and, of course, the chance to meet Santa Claus himself.
Another must-see attraction is the spectacular Lane of Light - a magical three-kilometre stretch of Christmas illuminations, leading visitors from the central harbour to Liseberg - the centrepiece of the Christmas celebrations.
Throughout the city there's an abundance of smaller markets and festive attractions from traditional stalls to Christmas choirs, making Gothenburg one of the best places around to get into the yuletide spirit.
