A shopping spree in Stockholm offers a unique way to discover this archipelago. It's a great opportunity to explore the city and appreciate its diverse facets: from the elegant Östermalm district to the vintage " SoFo " (South of Stockholm), passing through the artisan shops of Österlanggatan and more touristy spots like the souvenir shops of Västerlanggatan… Whatever your mood, desires, or the atmosphere you're looking for, you'll find what you're looking for in this warm and cosmopolitan city!


Fashion shops on the shopping streets of the city center and surrounding areas

The city boasts beautiful shopping streets lined with stores of all sizes, from large chains to small boutiques. Each street offers its own unique setting and atmosphere. We'll take you on a stroll through Stockholm's most beautiful streets to immerse yourself in Scandinavian style.

  • Stockholm's old town, Gamla Stan, is home to charming independent shops.
  • Drottninggatan is a street with many very authentic small shops, in Norrmalm City.
  • To feast your eyes, you will be amazed by the sumptuous addresses on Biblioteksgatan Street, still in Norrmalm City.
  • Those who appreciate trendy decor will enjoy Strandvägen avenue and especially the famous Svenskt Tenn and Malmstenbutiken boutiques, in the district of Östermalm.
  • For a more feminine and glamorous atmosphere, head to Stureplan Square, between Östermalm and Norrmalm.

If we had to name just one department store, it would be Nordiska Kompaniet. It's a temple of fashion. Whether it's clothing, accessories, or home decor, it will satisfy your every desire.

Go on your shopping spree by electric scooter, the best way to get from one neighborhood to another. You'll need a large backpack to carry your finds!


Shopping malls

If you prefer to stay warm indoors, there are also several shopping centers in the archipelago. They have the advantage of bringing together numerous shops of different styles. Above all, you'll be sheltered and can relax, eat, and find some good deals. They are located around Östermalm and Norrmalm.

  • Mood is the most elegant shopping center in Stockholm. Its boutiques are rather high-end, in a building with designer interior decoration.
  • The Gallerian is a large shopping center with 80 stores in the heart of the Norrmalm City district.
  • The Sturegallerian is a gallery, with a domed glass roof, a beautiful upscale place where you can also have a good time for lunch or dinner.
  • In the south of the archipelago, in Arsta, the Globen Shopping Center offers you a more intimate and friendly experience.

Craft and design shops

Stockholm is steeped in Scandinavian culture and traditional craftsmanship. Sweden is the birthplace of design ! You'll find beautiful, authentic, handcrafted, or trendy pieces, all with a clean, colorful Nordic aesthetic. Must-sees include:

  • The Götgatan street area in Södermalm guarantees a hipster atmosphere with beautiful boutiques and trendy bars.
  • Mariatorget Street and Square, also in Södermalm, is a quiet and pleasant place with charming little independent shops.
  • To name a few brands: Design Stockholm House, Design Torget…


To take a break, go for a walk in a park, have a coffee or take a well-deserved Fika break.



Vintage shops, second-hand and pre-owned shopping

For a change of pace, why not try a different way of shopping? We suggest you jump on the vintage bandwagon. Secondhand is booming, and Stockholm is the perfect city to introduce you to the world of vintage shopping.

There's only one place I recommend, a place you absolutely shouldn't miss: " SoFo." This is the " South of Folkungagatan " district on the island of Södermalm. Many artists draw inspiration from its bohemian atmosphere and create original works there. You'll discover the art of making something new from something old, originality rooted in recycling. For clothes and vintage finds, head to the area around the Zinkensdamm metro station, where you can dress in a retro style.
