Tips & Advice

  • Plan around the music schedule: Halmstads stadsmusikanter play from noon to 1 p.m., and the Lucia choir performs from 3 to 4 p.m.
  • Head to Norre torg for pony riding, available from noon to 3 p.m., rather than looking for it among the Lilla Torg stalls.
  • Allow time to follow the quiz walk around the city; it runs from noon to 3 p.m. and is not limited to the market square.
  • Wear warm layers and comfortable shoes for a December market and the quiz walk around the city.
  • Browse the producer stalls for seasonal food and delicacies, including offerings from local farms, cheese makers, bakeries and a fish producer.
