Tips for Exploring

Venture outside to the Stockholm suburbs

Many of the city’s best eateries are tucked away in some of the more residential areas just outside the city. Luckily, they can often be reached by bus or subway. Some of the closest areas with lots of food gems to discover include Hammarby Sjöstad, Liljeholmskajan and Sundbyberg.

Check Markets and Food Halls

Places like Östermalm Saluhall or Hötorgshallen aren’t just for shopping, they’re full of hidden stalls serving local specialties you won’t find in guidebooks. They’re especially great places to grab an excellent lunch with gourmet ingredients.

Look for Seasonal Specials

Restaurants and cafés often feature seasonal ingredients, so keep an eye out for special offers. Think fresh summer drinks, saffron buns in December, or delectable semlor in January and February. Sweden has something different to offer in every season.
