Hotels near Kungsträdgården Christmas Market

Kungsträdgården, one of Stockholm's most central parks, hosts a Christmas market where students from the city's schools sell gifts and crafts they have made themselves, from candles and ceramics to textiles and baked goods. It is a popular and good-value stop for unusual presents.

The park is also home to a seasonal outdoor ice rink in winter, which makes it easy to combine shopping with skating. The surrounding streets are decorated with lights for the Christmas season.

Dates for 2026 had not been confirmed at the time of writing; the market usually runs on weekends in late November and December. Check Visit Stockholm before you go.

Pro Tip: Combine the Kungsträdgården market with a skate on the rink in the park and a visit to the NK department store windows, a short walk away on Hamngatan.
