Visit a European Christmas market

Gothenburg, Sweden

When: Nov 13 - Dec 23 2009

What's on: Sample a cocktail at The Ice Gallery & Bar, in the biggest Christmas market in Scandinavia at Liseberg Amusement Park, West Sweden. The Bar and its contents are made of blue ice from the Torne River. If the 80 cabins full of enticing Christmas gift ideas, reindeer-sleigh rides and the outdoor ice rink are not enough to tempt you, then spend your time on the amusement park rides.
