Going to a Christmas market in Gothenburg is both fun and atmospheric, where you will find everything from home-knitted scarves to close-baked honey and Christmas delicacies.

For many, Christmas in Gothenburg is almost synonymous with Christmas at Liseberg, Sweden's largest Christmas market, which also offers young and old tickling carousels and, of course, the opportunity to leave the wish list to Father Christmas. At Christmas, the Liseberg amusement park turns into a fantastic winter fairy tale with millions of lights, glittering snow and of course lots of fun carousels..
