Great Shopping Spots in Stockholm
So, you’re traveling to Sweden? If you’re like most tourists, you’ll want to check out some of the hottest shopping around, and one terrific place is in the capital city of Stockholm, a thriving metropolis of over 750,000 inhabitants and a cultural paradise.

   

While in Stockholm, it’s recommended that you begin your Swedish shopping adventure by foot. Slip on your most comfy shoes and stroll anywhere between Hotorget and Gamla Stan (“Old Town”) to visit the beautiful little shops with new and vintage offerings. Bring your major credit cards or exchange cash for Krona, the official currency. Typically, stores are open every day except Sunday, though there are some places which operate seven days a week. (Ask your concierge or hotel staff to point you in their directions!)

Because Stockholm is home to so many designers, many visitors relish an opportunity to try on and purchase the most haute couture clothes on the market. You can find almost any style in this city of fashion; stop by the Arlandastad, Gallerian, PUB, or Stockholm Quality Outlet to find the perfect gift for you or someone special!

Stockholm also boasts a few indoor covered markets where fresh and pre-made items will tempt your taste buds and homemade goods will find their way into your carry-on. Stop by the Soderhallarna or the Ostermalms Saluhall and plan to spend some time finding exactly the right ingredient or souvenir.

No matter what you need, you’ll be able to find it during your time in Stockholm or any part of the gorgeous, historic country known as Sweden.
