Long Stay

SÖDERMALM, in the block south of Folkungagatan, has many interesting, trendy, and creative shops for fashion, design, interior design, jewelry, curios, vintage and second hand, modern antiques, books and magazines, records, and more. Several contemporary fashion brands have their own stores in the area. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes, and galleries. The mood is laid back, albeit very conscious. During the summer, Nytorget is a stage to see and be seen.

ÖSTERMALM is a contrasting district. On the one hand, it is a high-class residential area; on the other hand, there are 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; here, 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.

OLD TOWN 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 Gamla Stan and the nearby island Riddarholmen is like a living pedestrian-friendly museum full of sights, restaurants, cafes, bars, and shopping places. 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…

Residential buildings dominate KUNGSHOLMEN, but there are also living areas with restaurants, bars, and cafes, especially along 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 high tower and be rewarded with the most amazing views.
