As for the Stockholm attractions we should definitely mention Skansen. This famous outdoor museum was built in 1891. All sorts of Swedish architecture can be found here. Moreover, there are buildings which are not only preserved but still functioning! You just should come in the last evening before Christmas and see yourself all those schools, forging shops and post offices.
It the late December they hold a great Christmas market in Skansen. All tourists who would like to know what “Stockholm tourism” is in reality should definitely visit it. If you are not a shopper you can, let’s say, try your hands in baking some bread with the 19th century bakery equipment. Challenging, isn’t it?
Skansen market gathers about a thousand visitors daily. Please, have patience and don’t avoid crowd and queues and you will feel the festive ambience.
Shopping for everyone

After the shopping you may go for ice-skating and have fun with your family. Tourists from other countries love that ice-skating rink and often come there. So if you feel like meeting new friends it’s going to be a perfect place for that.
Family fare

Ferry trips are exciting too. One can find a ferry near the Opera and join a fantastic tour around the see area. But be very careful – if it’s a windy weather it can be really cold aboard.

It’s not a big deal to find a nice place to stay.
