If you haven’t been to Stockholm yet, it definitely has to be added to your bucket list. It is chic, but with an edgy feel. It is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, with swanky hotels and bars, beautiful nature with jewel-like islands, fantastic shopping, acclaimed chefs, an enviable quality of life, and a thriving design scene. There is so much to discover! Dozens of creative startups, trendy hangouts and inspiring shops and showrooms are opening up every month, making it almost impossible to gather everything the Swedish capital has to offer into one travel guide…

What makes"Stockholm"“We have a lot of open spaces and the buildings are not so crowded here. All the water makes Stockholm a more ‘open’ city. And also we have a lot of green parks and we’re close to the nature. I think the Old Town, in the middle of everything, is a one of a kind.”

Saša Antić, Stylist:"

“Stockholm is a small big city, compared to the other Nordic capitals that instead are big small cities. An important difference. Compared to other world capitals, it’s very manageable size-wise. You can walk almost everywhere.”

Eero Koivisto, Architect:"

“Nature, purity, style consciousness. The city is called ‘the little brother of Venice’ and, as I’m half Italian, this strikes a chord with me! I also like the freedom to be able to ride your bike anywhere.”

Idha Lindhag, Photographer:"

5

“There is such a fantastic energy. I find it refreshing and incredibly inspiring. It has everything: An up-and-coming food scene, beautiful people (as cliché as it sounds, it is true), amazing design, great architecture and events, lots of green spaces… What’s not to love!?

Catherine L.azure-Guinard, Nordic Design Founder:

Stockholm so great?"

“It has a unique beautiful setting in close relation to nature and water. I love the bright magic summer nights and the cold and crisp winter days when one, if lucky, can go ice-skating in the middle of the city.”

Johan Oscarson, Architect:"

“I really like the people and their mentality. They are friendly and welcoming. I love the combination of nature and urban life all into one. I enjoyed experiencing bits of the Swede’s lifestyle during my stay, and I definitely fell in love with this city!”

Justine Van Erck, Nordic Design Intern:"

Wake up and go have a lovely breakfast at Hotel Skeppsholmen (p.29). After, take the boat to the nearby archipelago for a couple of hours, to cruise around the islands... Take the boat back to the city, and go to Lydmar for drinks. For dinner, go to Il tempo for delicious Italian pasta. Finish the evening strolling down town, and see where the city and night takes you!

Q: What would be the best 24h in the city? !

Eero Koivisto"

Sleep late. Have a coffee at Sturekatten, a very old coffee place with a lot of atmosphere. Walk through Humlegården Park to Gun Gallery, the best contemporary photographers’ gallery in Scandinavia. Then have lunch at Food next door. Afterward, walk through the city and stop at Byredo, Acne, Fifth Ave. Shoe Repair and other Swedish contemporary fashion shops. Then walk through the Old Town, up the hill to Södermalm and the SOFO area. It has many independent small shops, bars, and restaurants close to Nytorget, such as Urban Deli. Have some drinks and a late dinner at Bar Central or La Vecchia Signora.

Q: What would be the best 24h in the city? !

All the water within the city. Actually Stockholm is built on many islands connected by bridges. Not good from a traffic point of view, bit nice for walking. It’s also a very green city, with a lot of parks. Good for kids growing up.

Q: Your favorite thing(s) about Stockholm:!

Q: Anything else you’d like to share about Stockholm?!The summer months are best for a visit to Stockholm. During the Design Week in February it’s cold, but there are many happenings in the city.

Eero is part of architect trio Claesson Koivisto Rune, and collaborated on several innovative projects ranging from design interiors and architecture to consumer products. Recipient of numerous awards, his firm are behind the Nobis Hotel in Stockholm (p.23), the Sfera Building in Kyoto and the Swedish Ambassador’s residence in Berlin, among others. Read more: ckr.se

•  The Museum Of Modern Art (p.33) has a very good collection. Best in Scandinavia without question. The Wasa Museum. Built around a huge ship that sunk in the Stockholm harbor many hundred years ago. Interesting building too.

•  Regarding restaurants I suggest Mattias Dahlgren (p.19). One of the world’s best in my opinion.

•  The best design store is Asplund (p.37). They have a very strong Nordic identity, de- spite the fact that many things in the store are not Scandinavian.

•  My favorite antique stores are Modernity (p.38) and Jackson’s. Both are mostly dealing with hard-to-find top-level modernist objects.

•  The best hotels are Ett Hem (p.30), Nobis Hotel (p.25) and Hotel Skeppsholmen (p.29).

Idha Lindhag"

Q: Best view of the city:!•  The view from my kitchen window during the blue hour, over Norrmälarstrand with a strong coffee. •  The view from the large hill behind the old Munchen brewery, the hill is often filled with kids who

play music and drink beer. •  The view from the Ersta terrace, you can reach it if you go down the Fjällgatan. •  The view from the Town hall terrace (Stadshuset) where you can see over to the beautiful Södermalm. •  The view from a boat somewhere in town, maybe my best tip!

Q: Anything else you’d like to share with us?!If you have more time, then take the ferry over to our beautiful island of Gotland, about 5 hours from Stockholm. An amazing place with the most changeable nature. Krakas Krog is restaurant where I ate my best dinner ever!

•  Visit Gunnar Asplund’s and Lewerentz’s beautiful project “Skogskyrkogården”, which is an incredibly beautiful and peaceful cemetery.

•  Dine at the lovely restaurant de Ville. •  Have a drink on Södermalm’s most popular media hang out, Babylon. •  Take the boat out to the new art museum Artipelag, worth just walk in the surroundings.

Johan Oscarson!

Q: What are your must see places in Stockholm?!•  The Public Library by Asplund is a must, as well as the Woodland cemetery by Asplund and

Lewerentz. My personal favorite building is the Woodland chapel from 1918. •  For food, pay a visit to Östermalmshallen or Hötorgshallen, which are the two main food market

halls. During season in August the scent of dill from the freshly cooked crayfish is fantastic. Do lunch at Operakällaren “Bakfickan”, an intimate relaxed counter restaurant with a beautiful interior. Go for the famous meatballs.

•  For design, Asplund (p.37) is a contemporary selected design shop on Sibyllegatan. Check out especially their own brand. And don’t forget Svenskt Tenn (p.39): Classic design shop appreciated by all generations with its classic modern design from the Austrian architect Josef Frank, who was brought to Sweden by Estrid Ericson during world war II.

•  Museum wise, Moderna Museet (p.33) is nicely situated at Skeppsholmen. It is designed by Moneo. I also recommend Fotografiska (p.31), a new and very successful museum of photography often with bold exhibitions.

Q: What would be the best 24h in the city? !Take an early morning walk or run on Djurgården, a beautiful island with a number of fantastic places worth visiting: Rosendal’s gardens, an open garden with a great café or Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde, a classic art museum by Ferdinand Boberg.

Start the evening at the bar Sturehof at Stureplan enjoying the typical and evergreen interior by Jonas Bohlin. Have dinner at Matbaren (p.19), a relaxed yet top notch “back pocket” restaurant by Mattias Dahlgren.
