Skansen is the oldest open-air museum in the world, and also features a zoo with many Scandinavian animals such as brown bears, moose, and reindeer. This historic venue is located on Djurgården island and offers spectacular views of Stockholm. In the summer months, there are concerts and folk dancing displays. In the winter, a large Christmas market creates a popular showpiece.
