Stockholm in November- any good travel tips?

[Minitoots]

A group of 7 of us are meeting up in Stockholm for a long weekend in mid November - before I start searching on Tripadvisor etc for travel tips, I thought I'd ask here, in case anyone has any suggestions. We are staying in an air BnB in/near Hammarby Sj?stad - looking forward to seeing the architecture there. We're also interested in art galleries, independent designer shops, and finding out how to get the most for our measly ???s as we've heard it is very expensive....

We went in the summer, just for a couple of nights. But for eating and "independent designer shops", I'd say the "So-Fo" area is the place to head to. Lots of little shops, restaurants, hipster coffee places, etc.

Everything was bloody expensive, even before the pound plummeted! We ended up cooking a couple of meals in the apartment as everything is so expensive (and the food's not as appealing as most other European cities anyway IMO). If you want to buy beer/wine to drink at home, forget the supermarket or corner shop, you'll need to locate the nearest "Systembolaget" (state-ran booze shop).

Wander around - a great place

Eat well during the day when they do fixed price meals, some places will do formula on the wine (ie a fixed mark up)

Buy beer from the state off license and then hide behind a tree (very tight on public drinking) Watch out for weak beer sold in the supermarkets.

See a footy match

Go around the archipeligo by boat.

Go to the viking museum/boat - Vasa. Plenty to do.

thanks - those are really helpful tips especially the "Systembolaget" (state-ran booze shop). My partner was thrilled at the idea of seeing a football match - he'll be going on his own to that I think. Also looking forward to singing along at the 'interactive Abba museum' if I've got that right...

And don't forget to wrap up warm! Especially if there is snow.

Any more helpful suggestions such as small art galleries, furniture design shops etc?

Don't get involved in a syndrome ! It will only end up confusing you 🤔

Had a lovely smorgasbord at the moderna museet ( think that's what it's called) museum of modern art, in a lovely area with great views. A little boat trip to one of the islands also nice. Wine in the supermarkets not much more expensive than here

The Kulturhuser, right next to Central station has lots going on.
