Scandinavian Winter Escape
It may be the height of summer, with the AC on full blast - but it's the perfect time to start dreaming of cooler days and festive escapes. We're planning for the enchanting winter experiences ahead -especially Europe's famed Christmas markets. Our curated winter trips offer unmatched luxury and insider access to Scandinavia's most celebrated holiday destinations.
Stockholm Christmas Markets Shopping Guide
Located in the heart of Gamla Stan, the capital's historic old town, Stockholm's market is as atmospheric as it is indulgent. The markets are brimming with treasures you'll want to bring home: handwoven textiles, artisanal sweets (try Polkagris peppermint sticks), and keepsakes crafted by local makers.
Our travel experts recommend picking up some Swedish gifting staples, beeswax candles are a nod to Sweden's Lucia traditions. Or hand-carved wooden ornaments as future heirlooms. Pack light - your future self will appreciate the extra luggage space.
New Year's Eve at Tivoli Gardens
In nearby Copenhagen, Tivoli Gardens transforms into a dazzling winter fairytale. From December 26 through New Year's Eve, its historic amusement park comes alive with fireworks, gourmet dining, and open-air concerts.
For an unforgettable close to 2025, few destinations match Tivoli's festive elegance. We recommend this for families, couples and solo travelers alike. There is something for everyone.
