Overall rating

Skansen is for sure worth visiting. It’s like magic in the city. There was a Christmas marker where you could buy something to eat, drink, different souvenirs. There were also different animals, and it was fantastic experience to see Moose for the first time. Definitely worth spending a few hours walking around

A lovely place where you can see an old (reconstructed) town, Swedish animals, and even a science centre. You would be able to easily spend an entire day (4-6 hrs) here!

A trip back into the past. Very enjoyable despite being -2 at some points. The glass blowing was intriguing and the baking was fabulous. The staff were very helpful

Lovely Christmas market, quite a large village. Mulled wine, food and local products can be purchased. Zoo on site, I gotta say, lovely spot.

Takes you to the most important parts of the city!
