Stockholm Shopping: 9 Best Other Shops in Stockholm

Stockholm has much more to offer shoppers than Viking headgear, t-shirts plastered with the Swedish flag, and tacky plastic snow domes. Granted, it is one of the most expensive cities in the world, but that shouldn’t stop you from exploring the myriad of independent boutiques, secondhand stores, and flea markets scattered throughout the city.

Swedish design is famous for its simplicity and minimalism, so you can expect to discover an endless stream of designer pieces including everything from classic printed textiles and avant-garde clothing to contemporary kitchenware and clever household contraptions.

This is the place to experience Swedish cuisine at its finest and pick up top-quality ingredients to take home. Enjoy an authentic Swedish bite at Tysta Mari – the salmon bake is especially tasty, as is the fried herring with mashed potatoes and lingonberries.

Food and flea market

Hornstulls marknad

Love to go this market during the summertime. They have different types of food trucks ranging from vegetarian food to sleazy burgers. It has a great atmosphere and people playing music while you enjoy your food by the sea. After eating you check out the flea market.
