Prefer your entertainment in a bigger city? Never fear, there's plenty going on Stockholm too. The Sprit Museum is hosting an usual event about Swedish sin. Through the eyes of artist Peter Johansson, you can check out an exhibition of images dealing with "lust, vice, liberation, and shame".

But we know for many of you a Christmas market will be on the agenda in the coming days. In the centre of Stockholm, the traditional Gamla Stan market in the Old Town is an absolute must at this time of year. You can find sweets and treats, all kinds of Swedish meats, and handcrafts galore. It opens each day at 11am and runs until 6pm in Stortorget. Be quick though, it's only open until the 23rd.
