Recently, several pioneering New Nordic restaurants have opened in the neighborhood, including Lilla Ego which is now one of the most popular places in the city lots of great new cafés and stores have opened The shopping scene is a mix of old places that have been here forever so I never really feel I have to leave Vasastan Too many visitors come to Stockholm and never venture beyond the cobbled streets of Old Town and the city center I think this is what sets this neighborhood apart—it manages to be both cozy and a vibrant part of the city >>Next: Why Winging It Behind the Wheel Is the Best Way to See Sweden AFAR participates in affiliate marketing programs which means we may earn a commission if you purchase an item featured on our site.© 2025 AFAR LLC The remaining venues continue to be used for competitive and recreational sport and are home to several clubs that serve their local communities. Stockholm Cross Country Riding Club Stadium continues to host dressage, jumping and eventing competitions, for example. Founded on 1 November 1886, it is Sweden’s oldest riding club and also runs riding schools. Built for the Games, Stockholm Olympic Stadium is a major sporting and concert venue. It also staged the equestrian competitions at the Olympic Games Melbourne 1956.

The Tennis Pavilion at Östermalm Athletic Grounds saw two outdoor courts installed next to the building that hosted the fencing events, which was used as changing rooms during the outdoor tennis events. Östermalm Idrottsplats is still used by the bandy section and youth football teams of the Djurgårdens IF multisports club. In the winter, the venue’s athletic grounds are converted into a speed-skating rink. Tennis is still played at the site. The Royal Tennis Halls (Tennishallen) were an early part of Stockholm’s tennis history and played host to the indoor tennis events during the 1912 Games. The venue was the home of the Royal Tennis Club of Stockholm at the time the Olympic Games took place. The club relocated in 1943 to the Royal Tennis Hall (Kungliga Tennishallen), built a short distance away, and the venue was demolished.

Established in 1880, this is one of Sweden’s oldest rowing clubs and offers a wide range of boats – from singles to eights – for rowers of all abilities. The club’s main boathouse was built in 1913 from wooden planks and seating from the temporary spectator stand constructed for the previous year’s Olympic rowing events. Some of the seat numbers can be seen on the ceiling of this culturally significant building, which remains largely unchanged. The club opened a second boathouse in 2004. Also surviving to this day is the Sollentuna Monument, which marked the halfway point of the Stockholm 1912 marathon course. Designed by the same architect who created the Olympic Stadium, the monument is seven metres tall and bears the inscription “1912 Vändpunkten” (“The Turn”). It was used again as the halfway point at the Olympic Jubilee Marathon in 2012. There was no official Olympic Village at Stockholm 1912. Periods of rain. Low around 55F. Winds ENE at 10 to 15 mph.

In order to be able to house all the traders and the associated functions the building had to occupy the entire open area of the square (1970 sqm). © Felix GerlachThe goal has been to create an attractive temporary addition to the heart of Östermalm that has a positive effect on its surroundings day and night.
