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...
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

    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
