    Small overcrowded square surrounded by Italian restaurants and shops selling cheap tat souvenirs. Wouldn’t go out my way to visit unless if passing through for something else such as Nobel.

    I’m at a loss as to all the positive reviews I read about Stockholm at Christmas and particularly this Christmas Market. It is is absolutely tiny it will take you no more than 10-15 minutes to walk...
