Christmas markets in Blekinge

Where winter lights spark warmth

In Blekinge, the Christmas lights are switched on early. Across town squares where history meets winter. In parks where spa‑roots still whisper. At manor houses whose stones remember centuries of celebrations. Here, Christmas isn’t about stress or consumption. It’s about warmth in the darkness. About handcrafted treasures. About mulled wine that tastes just right.

Come close to a Christmas you’ll carry home.

Plan Your Visit

The markets generally open at the beginning of Advent (late November) and run through early December.

  • Evening hours bring the magic of lights—aim for dusk for full effect.
  • Many venues are seasonal and are held outdoors or semi‑outdoors; dress warmly.
