Liseberg Ice Gallery & Bar
Last year's coolest new addition was Liseberg Ice Gallery & Bar, made entirely out of beautiful shimmering blue ice. Liseberg Ice Gallery & Bar was presented in cooperation with Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi and was the only one of its kind in southern Sweden. All of the interior furnishings, including the drinking glasses, were made of ice. The ice was gathered from the Torne River and was stored over the last summer before being transported to Göteborg. A fascinating experience that won't melt away quickly!
Arts and Crafts Market
Several of Sweden's best artisans hade set up house in the Kållerado station building. Visitors could enjoy beautiful art and crafts made from such materials as wood, wrought iron, glass, textiles and ceramics in a warm and cosy atmosphere. There was a change of exhibitors throughout the Christmas period, which made a vibrant and dynamic market.
Dining & treats
The tables of Liseberg’s restaurants are laden with the specialities of the season at Christmas. Try a traditional Swedish Christmas buffet with dishes such as meatballs, pickled herring, salmon, spare ribs, ham and much more. And if you feel the need for a snack while walking around the park you can buy mulled wine, steaming hot chocolate, crispy waffles, marzipan, toffee, caramels and lots of other Christmas treats.
