BEST SHOPPING AREAS / DISTRICTS
Stockholm is a city of many diverse areas, each with a vibrant shopping scene.
The city’s historical old town Gamla Stan is perfect for boutiques selling handcrafted traditional Swedish items as well as interior decorations and artworks. Östermalm, to the east of Gamla Stan, is the most exclusive district in the city; here you will find international labels and highclass Scandinavian brands. Södermalm, by contrast, is great for a more unusual variety of shops. It is home to a multitude of independent boutiques selling trendy fashion labels, vintage clothing, modern design work and kooky curios.
