STOCKHOLM

petit guide Södermalm

HOTEL RIVAL

Located in Soldermalm, the district dubbed the Brooklyn of Stockholm, this hip boutique hotel sports bright modern rooms, excellent service, and an amazing breakfast buffet included with most rates.

DROP COFFEE

If sustainable, fair trade, single origin, and small batch roasting are buzz words you live by, head over to drop coffee for your fix.

FOTOGRAFISKA

If you have any interest in photography, you'd be hard pressed to not leave this museum completely inspired by the beautifully curated collections.

PELIKAN

You can't come to Stockholm without trying some Swedish comfort food: tender roast elk, meatballs with potatoes and lingonberry jam, pickled herring, microbrewed local beer, aquavit. Skål!

MELLQVIST KAFFEBAR

Practice the fine art of fika (coffee and pastry break) and you'll fall in love with kardemummabullar (cardamom buns) and kanelbullar (cinnamon buns).
