others are occupied by hotels interior design stores and foreign embassies wolves and moose as well as (human) historical reenactors Dedicated to Sweden’s most successful music export ever, ABBA the Museum is another (campy) highlight the greenhouses and flower beds of Rosendals Trädgård This is a particularly gorgeous spot in the fall when the landscape bursts into a color palette of rich autumnal tones While a contemporary buzz infuses every neighborhood of Stockholm, the city’s historic center, Gamla Stan offers an unmissable opportunity to soak up its impressive past the meandering cobbled streets here are steeped in history having witnessed witnessed everything from medieval markets and bloody battles to labor demonstrations in the 20th century Taking in Gamla Stan’s brightly colored facades, scattered statues, royal buildings and well-organized museums is likely to be on most visitors’ must-do lists Yet while the district’s charm is undeniable Don’t miss it – then be sure to venture further afield to get a true sense of how Stockholmers live this sprawling city borough is home to fashion-forward students studying at the Konstfack art school as well as hip young couples and families priced out of Södermalm These populations mean the neighborhood is scattered with hidden gems homeware stores and a single-screen cinema are highlights of the Midsommarkransen district while Telefonplan is home to several intimate live-music venues There’s also Färgfabriken a cultural center close to Trekanten tram stop that hosts contemporary art exhibitions The surrounding area is poised to be redeveloped into an area called Lövholmen with new apartment buildings and restaurants to come on the former industrial shoreline In the busy commercial heart of Stockholm and near Stockholm Central Station functionalist concrete office buildings and chain stores predominate Yet what the area lacks in charm it makes up for in convenience with a plethora of hotels within easy walking distance of Stockholm’s main attractions and neighborhoods The classy hotels and rooftop bars around recently revitalized Brunkebergstorg square are popular after-work hangouts for well-heeled Stockholmers A magnet for bearded media types and vintage-clad craft ale drinkers this gentrified area in Södermalm (Stockholm’s southern district) draws visitors who enjoy browsing independent boutiques and sourcing international goodies from organic delicatessens The micro-neighborhood is ideal for people-watching during an extended fika coffee session We recommend settling in at one of the many restaurants and top-notch cafes around Nytorget square which buzzes starting at 5pm on weeknights as locals leave work and pack the curbside terraces What the island of Kungsholmen doesn’t have in terms of nightlife or tourist attractions, the largely residential area largely makes up for in playgrounds, parks and sports facilities. Rålambshovs Park is a beloved picnic spot and workout zone drawing folks interested in beach volleyball The 10km (6-mile) loop around the island is popular with runners and hikers thanks to its views over some of the prettiest sections of Stockholm’s cityscape.

(It moved to its current location in Vasastan in 1965.) 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 Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker A few years ago we wrote 'America: Say hello to Nordic Fashion.'
