With just one week left to Christmas Eve we would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas from all of us at Djurgården and also let you know that we are open on Christmas Eve at many of our places here on the island.

You can for example visit Nordiska museet for free on Christmas Eve and see their exhibitions (normal entrance fee to Arctic – while the ice is melting). Skansen is also open on Christmas Eve with normal entrance fee and invites you to a free early service in the church on Christmas Day at 07:00AM and after that the entrance fee is reduced for the rest of the day. Tekniska and ABBA The Museum are also open this day and invites you to a lot of fun.

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and visit us at Djurgården if not just to enjoy and take in the Christmas spirit, but also to step by all our lovely places that would love to be a part of your Christmas celebration.

If you don’t know what to do this weekend you can visit one of the best Christmas markets in the world, at Skansen! CNN Travel has listed the 17 best Christmas markets in the world and of course the long tradition of Christmas market at Skansen earned a spot.

This tradition has been alive ever since 1903 and is extra special because of the location of the market, inside the zoo. In that way you can, while you find unique and handcrafted Christmas gifts, also look for Rudolph among the animals that enjoy the winter season just as much as us.
