Old Town Christmas Market

Christmas market
I visited the Christmas market at Stortorget in the Old Town. There have been markets here for more than 700 years. I was there quite early, hoping to beat the crowds, which of course didn't work. But I had a feeling that it would be very crowded and hard to get the clean street photo shots that I prefer, so I brought with me a wide-angle lens which will chock James Wei, but there we go. I did take with me the mirrorless camera as well, but I am yet to go through those photos. Anyway, you could enjoy glögg, candy, hot dogs, hot chocolate or shop for hats, Dala horses, different beverages and much more, which everyone but me did.

  1. Your early visit and wide-angle lens paid off. You captured the market’s timeless bustle even if everyone else was busy enjoying the treats

    1. Yes. Lots of history at this square, including a bloodbath.
