November is moderate for Stockholm.
Mid-November is when Stockholm's Christmas-market season kicks off — Stortorget (Gamla Stan) and Skansen open the year's most-atmospheric outdoor experiences. Wooden stalls, glögg (mulled wine) at SEK 30 / $3.50 per cup, hand-knit Lovika mittens, traditional saffron pepparkakor cookies. Skansen's market (weekends late Nov-mid Dec) is the canonical one — period-costumed vendors, traditional crafts, working blacksmith. All Saints' Day (Nov 1) at Skogskyrkogården UNESCO cemetery is one of Sweden's most-atmospheric photography moments — thousands of candles lit on graves at dusk.
