It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from; everyone knows what a candy cane is. However, few people know that the candy cane is a Swedish invention. Bake some of your own in our Swedish Candy Cane Making Class!
The story about the tour
In the mid-19th century, widow Amalia Eriksson returned from work to find her daughter Ida coming down with a cold. Amalia, who was a resourceful woman as well as the owner of a small bakery and candy shop, rushed to the pharmacy and bought a small bottle of peppermint oil. By mixing sugar, water and vinegar and adding a few drops of the expensive oil she tried to make Ida some home made cough drops – it was intended as medicine. However, such tasty medicine soon found its way to the candy shop, and today, the red and white candy cane is sold all across the world.
Baking candy cane, polkagrisar in Swedish, looks much easier than it is. However, it is a fun, family friendly and delicious way to be introduced to Sweden. In our Swedish Candy Cane Making Class you will get a brief introduction to the history of the candy cane as well as an instruction how to bake from your professional polkagris coach. Then it is time to get your hands dirty – it is time to start baking. The best thing of all – you get to keep everything you bake! Yum!

Happy Nobel Day! 💡 As Nobel Week was cancelled in 2020, Nobel lectures, prizes and banquets were replaced with Nobel Week Lights - light installations inspired by Nobel Prize-awarded findings and laureates. As the festivities are now back, we sure hope that we are so lucky that the artwork brightening up the city during the darkest month of the year; is a December tradition that has come to stay. 💫
🇸🇪
Nobeldagen är här! 💡 Nobelveckan blev inställd 2020, och istället för Nobelföreläsningar, prisutdelning och bankett genomfördes Nobel Week Lights som är ljusinstallationer inspirerade av Nobelpris på olika platser i Stockholm. Det blev så uppskattat att det genomförs i år igen trots att Nobelveckan är återinförd. Har vi tur så är det en decembertradition som kommit för att stanna. 💫

It’s a contested issue amongst numerous Baltic connected countries as to who invented the Ice-skate. Was it the Finns or the Dutch? All of this is irrelevant because the best city to ice-skate in is Stockholm. If you want to show off your Quadruple Axel in front of the masses, the ice-rink in Kungsträdgården is the perfect location. ✨⛸️✨

Don`t let its controversy cloud your curiosity as Christianshavns characteristic slanting roofs and canals, as well as the tremendous Church of Our Saviour, are well worth seeing. Not to forget the Færgecafé or Café Parterre who are both worth visiting.
