The largest Christmas market in Scandinavia, Gothenburg Christmas Market runs between November 15 to December 23. The area used is the Liseberg Amusement Park, which is then transformed into a winter wonderland of beautifully decorated trees, five million lights and spectacular garlands.

Far from the clichéd local farmers market, the area also provides traditional rides, ice-skating and Santa Land. In total the whole market is decorated with 700 Christmas trees and sees half a million visitors each year.

Stalls will be selling crafts, knitwear, waffles, candied apples, and spiced wine amongst other delights.

Not that the items are luxe or exclusive, however, if you’re a jetsetter wondering where would be a luxuriously different place to say, the usual New York or Los Angeles experience, then heading to Sweden would be well worth the fuel in your jet.

Scandinavian delicacies will also be available, including pickled herring, salmon, spiced red cabbage, pâtés, spare ribs, sausages, meatballs, ham and, of course, beers and wine.
