class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stockholm in winter temperature<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Swedish capital, located in <strong>south-central Sweden<\/strong>, experiences long winters. Temperatures and light levels drop drastically in early November. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Temperatures can reach <strong>-20 degrees<\/strong> in December, January and February, with an annual average of 0\u00b0C during the winter months.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having lived through it, it&#8217;s impressive that when the pilot announced a temperature of -15 degrees, we almost wanted to stay on the plane to return to France. Finally, with the <strong>right clothing<\/strong>, it&#8217;s perfectly possible to enjoy the city to the full (even though I&#8217;m a great chiller). <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also worth noting that the Swedes are completely <strong>accustomed to<\/strong> these harsh winters, and everything is adapted to get around even in the snow.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A word of warning: be prepared to get <strong>up early <\/strong>to make the most of the short days, as the sun sets between 3 and 4 pm. We also advise you to plan your visits carefully, as everything closes very early at this time of year. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/l6fogbwh07y-1024x767.webp\" alt=\"a blue and white textured background with small stars\" class=\"wp-image-24843\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to wear in Stockholm in winter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our opinion, it&#8217;s not really bad weather, just <strong>bad clothing<\/strong>. So if you choose to visit Scandinavia in winter, don&#8217;t skimp on your equipment to make the most of it. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In December, January and February, we advise you to opt for the famous <strong>onion technique<\/strong>, which consists of layering <strong>several garments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s a list of clothes you can pack in your suitcase: a warm under-sweater (heattech or wool), a warm sweater, a fleece, tights, ski pants, booties or waterproof hiking boots, not forgetting gloves, hats and

We spoke with friends who live there, and from the looks of it, the Christmas markets are magical and the wooden huts are generously decorated with snow (if you&#8217;re lucky), so the atmosphere is incredible.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you visit the Swedish capital during this period, here are the two main markets not to be missed.  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong> <strong>Christmas<\/strong> market<\/strong><strong> in Stockhholm&#8217;s historic center <\/strong>(Gamla Stan) takes place on the pretty, colorful Stortorget square, where the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/en\/nobel-museum-stockholm\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"23524\">Nobel Museum<\/a> is located. Some forty exhibitors offer wooden objects, sweets (the Swedes love them), ceramics, jewelry and food stalls. <br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skansen Christmas Market<\/strong> (Djaurgarden Island or Stockholm&#8217;s Museum Island), located in the heart of the <strong>Skansen<\/strong> open-air museum. We&#8217;ve already mentioned it in our article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/en\/skansen-museum-stockholm\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"22903\">Skansen museum<\/a>, which is a small concentrate of <strong>Swedish culture<\/strong>, with many events on offer during the festive season. The site is beautifully decorated, with fir trees on every street corner and old-fashioned Christmas tables set up in the homes.    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/anjxctmbdfa-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Christmas decor collection\" class=\"wp-image-24859\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stockholm skating rink<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ice skating<\/strong> is one of Sweden&#8217;s favorite winter activities, especially for Swedish families. The good news is that you can enjoy this activity on one of the downtown skating rinks or on the natural ice of a frozen lake.   <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ice rink<\/strong>: a large ice rink is set up every winter in the city center, in the <strong>Kungstradgarden<\/strong> park in the Norrmalm district (December to February). The rink is free, but skate hire costs around SEK 70 per adult and SEK 30 for children for 1 hour. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you don&#8217;t skate (like me), I&#8217;d still recommend a visit to soak up the fairytale atmosphere and warm up with a hot chocolate and\/or a cinnamon roll (you need what it takes to withstand the Swedish cold).  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We loved watching the kids, who can barely walk on ice skates, doing so much better than us!  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Natural ice<\/strong>: Lake <strong>Trekanten<\/strong> in southwest Stockholm, the closest to the city center, freezes over from late January to late February. When the ice is thick enough, the lake is cleared of snow, forming a skating rink.   <br\/><br\/>However, you&#8217;ll need skates, as you can&#8217;t rent them on site. You can still take a stroll around the lake to watch the locals in action. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make the most of winter activities, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manawa.com\/fr-FR\/activite\/suede\/stockholm\/ski-de-fond\/cross-country-skiing-in-stockholm\/8556?_cid=1233\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cross-country skiing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manawa.com\/fr-FR\/activite\/suede\/stockholm\/raquettes-a-neige\/snowshoe-hike-in-stockholm\/8555?_cid=1233\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">snowshoeing<\/a> trips are organized from Stockholm.<\/p>\n\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/availability.frame\" data-gyg-tour-id=\"437085\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"fr-FR\" data-gyg-currency=\"EUR\" data-gyg-widget=\"availability\" data-gyg-variant=\"horizontal\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"0LXQSML\" data-gyg-cmp=\"stockholmhiver\"><span>Powered by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/stockholm-l50\/\">GetYourGuide<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sauna in Stockholm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sauna<strong>(bastu<\/strong> in Swedish) is a year-round activity in Sweden. A small room (often a wooden hut) is heated to between <strong>70 and 100 degrees<\/strong> with very low humidity (around 20%).   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a fifteen-minute session in this &#8220;oven&#8221;, the Swedes jump into a lake or water that is often very cool. For my part, I only did the hot part. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve noticed two little Swedish idiosyncrasies. They have a very relaxed relationship with <strong>nudity<\/strong> compared to us. We prefer to warn you, as most Swedes walk around naked in the changing rooms, and only wear a towel when sitting in the sauna. Swedish saunas are usually performed without a bathing suit.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My second point concerns the atmosphere in Swedish saunas, which is very different from the zen-like, quiet atmosphere in French saunas. After talking to the locals, we realized that this is as much a place to <strong>relax<\/strong> as to <strong>socialize<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During our first sauna, a family was listening to music on a Bluetooth speaker. The Swedes are naturally quiet and unassuming, and make the most of this moment of conviviality. The other thing that disturbed me (Floriane) was the atmosphere and <strong>rustic<\/strong> feel of some Swedish saunas. Nothing to do with the subdued, cocooning ambience of our own homes.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_182515076-1024x771.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24820\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_182515076-1024x771.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_182515076-400x301.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_182515076-1200x904.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_182515076-512x386.webp 512w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_182515076-300x226.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_182515076-768x578.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_182515076-1536x1157.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_182515076-scaled.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for a <strong>traditional sauna<\/strong> in beautiful surroundings, we recommend the<strong>Hellasgarden<\/strong> nature park, south-east of Stockholm, recommended by a friend (of my sister&#8217;s) who lives in Stockholm. You can reserve your day and time slot <a href=\"https:\/\/hellasgarden.se\/en\/aktiviteter\/bastu\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hellasgarden.se\/en\/aktiviteter\/bastu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. from 110 SEK per person for two hours, remember to bring your own towel (or rent one at reception).    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sauna is located in <strong>the heart of nature<\/strong>, next to a lake and easily accessible by public transport, only 20 minutes away by bus (bus 401 leaves Slussen every 15 minutes), so we can only recommend that you go for it! A final word of advice: get there early on weekends, as it can get crowded. In summer, take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/en\/beaches-stockholm\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"43227\">dip in the lake<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many beautiful, well-marked <strong>hiking trails<\/strong> around the lake, a great idea for a day out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/en\/what-to-do-around-stockholm\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"26083\">around Stockholm<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:100.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_202008251-1024x771.webp?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_202008251-1024x771.webp?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_202008251-1024x771.webp?strip=info&#038;w=1024&#038;ssl=1 1024w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1542\" data-id=\"24864\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/?attachment_id=24864\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_202008251-1024x771.webp\" data-width=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PXL_20230719_202008251-1024x771.webp?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Ouvrir l\u2019image 1 sur 1 en plein \u00e9cran\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Museums in Stockholm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Stockholm, you&#8217;ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to <strong>museums<\/strong>.
