With its frosty mornings, Christmas lights and genuine, festive atmosphere, where better to spend the run-up to Christmas than in south Sweden and Skåne? With something for everyone, and some of Europe’s best Christmas markets, you can buy hand-made goods, drink mulled wine, talk to a Scandinavian Santa, eat gingerbread and buy those mittens you’ve been looking for.

In Skåne, vintage is not just a trend, it’s a lifestyle. Swedes have a habit of selling and donating old things instead of throwing them away, which means there are plenty of opportunities to make some unique finds.

Famous for its white beaches, crystal clear waters and quaint seaside villages along the coast, Southwest Skåne features open landscapes and views that stretch for miles. Add a reconstructed Viking settlement, thirteen golf courses within a short drive and you’re in for a great holiday.

Skåne has some of the most important settlements of the viking age. Visit Sweden's only reconstructed viking city, see famous rune stones, try the viking market and watch fierce viking battles.
