Christmas spirit in the city
In a long-standing tradition, this pedestrian street is lit up with Christmas decorations which then culminate in a market, in what is popularly known as Gustav - one of the city's busiest squares. Passers-by stop for a while to admire the decorations here and along Södertull and to enjoy seasonal hot food and drinks before they move on.
