A relatively new holiday that is celebrated by some in Sweden, Halloween decorations can be seen mostly in stores and a few cafes.
In Gothenburg, Halloween season is celebrated at the city's theme park, Liseberg. Check out my post on Halloween at Liseberg.
In Stockholm, the theme park Gröna Lund has a Halloween season as well. There is an Old Town (Gamla Stan) Ghost tour that has been recommended to us and seems like a fitting activity to do during spooky season 👻
Pumpkins to carve can be found at the grocery stores!
If you're looking for Halloween decorations or costumes, places like Partyland or Flying Tiger are great places to check out.
"Bus eller Godis" or "Trick or Treat" in Swedish is what kids say when they go trick or treating!
It's not as popular to do as in North America but we have had kids knock on our door looking for candy! One year I wasn't even expecting it, but the following years we were prepared with candy!
Candy shops like Hemmakväll or even Normal are perfect places to buy the candy for any trick-or-treaters!
The date that Swedes go trick-or-treating is confusing, if Halloween falls on a weekday, it could be the weekend before or even the weekend after!
Chocolate shops and bakeries usually offer some Halloween themed treats like chocolate!
Have a safe and fun Halloween season!!
Don't forget your snacks!
