Tips & Advice

Buy your ticket at the castle and leave your Kalmar Castle annual pass at home, because it is not valid for the fair.
Bring the kids, because children under 12 get in free with a guardian and the Christmas activities are included.
Save the Ståthållarvåningen exhibition for another visit, because it is closed during the fair and some rooms are filled with stalls.
Bring a bag for food-pantry buys such as cheese, bread, mustard, fish, ham and Christmas sweets from small producers.
When your feet get tired, rest in the castle restaurant's café before you head back out to the stalls.
