Long stay

ÖSTERMALM is a contrasting district. On the one hand, it is a high-class residential area; on the other hand, most nightclubs in the whole of Stockholm gathered around Stureplan. Bibliotekstan is Stockholm’s most luxurious shopping area with exclusive Scandinavian and international brands. A visit to Östermalmshallen is an experience for all the senses, where everything is in the way of food – colorful fruit stands, dripping meat counters, and seafood in abundance. Take a walk along Strandvägen, which impresses with beautiful buildings and sparkling water views.

GAMLA STAN is one of the largest and best-preserved medieval city centers in Europe and one of Stockholm’s main attractions; this was where the city was founded in 1252. The entire Old Town and the nearby island of Riddarholmen are like a living pedestrian-friendly museum full of sights, restaurants, cafes, bars, and places to shop. Even today, cellar vaults and frescoes from the Middle Ages can be found behind the visible facades, and on snowy winter days, the district feels like something taken from a storybook…

VASASTAN is a homely neighborhood with small unique vintage shops, clothing stores, and cafes. There are many smaller restaurants in the area, especially around Odenplan and St. Eriksplan. Rörstrandsgatan, with its small shops and cafés, is a hot tip for those who want to observe people’s lives. If you are at least interested in architecture, a visit to the City Library with its rotunda, designed by Gunnar Asplund, is recommended. Vasaparken attracts picnic sun worshipers in the summer and skaters in the winter. The park is also home to Sven-Harry’s Art Museum, one of the newest additions to Stockholm’s art offerings.

KUNGSHOLMEN, dominated by residential buildings, but there are also living areas with restaurants, bars, and cafes, especially Hantverkargatan and Fleminggatan. Along Norr Mälarstrand is a pleasant walk that offers fantastic views of Södermalm and boating. In the summer, Kungsholmen offers its visitors several bathing spots where you can take a cooling dip. One of the most characteristic buildings in Stockholm, City Hall, is well worth a visit. If you get the chance, do not miss going up the tall tower and be rewarded with the most amazing views.
