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

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
