The one place in town that offers the most traditional and the most Swedish way to start off the New Year is Skansen, Sweden's biggest and oldest open-air museum.
They offer music and entertainment on the Solliden stage where the classic Lord Tennyson poem "Ring out wild bells" is recited (in Swedish) every year at midnight to a large audience (not just on location, but broadcast live on TV) and the biggest display of fireworks happens here with an astounding view of Stockholm as the background.
Their bars offer the best seats and champagne to toast the New Year.
You can also book a table at The Solliden restaurant that has a special New Year's menu. Their café Skansen Terrassen is also open between 20.00 - 01-00.
New Years concert i Seglora Church, 22:00.
Live broadcast from the Solliden stage by Swedish Television, 23:10-00:15.
The entrance fees to Skansen on New Year's Eve are:
Adults 140 SEK
Senior/student 120 SEK
Groups of 10 or more 120 SEK per person
