From the saffron-coloured buildings and cobblestone-covered streets, to the sleek modern bars and trendy restaurants, Stockholm is a city of history, style and impeccable design. In a compact, light paperback format perfect for slipping into your back pocket, Stockholm Pocket Precincts is your curated guide to the city’s most interesting cultural, shopping, eating and drinking experiences.
Divided into separate precincts, each section lists the best shops, restaurants, bars and sights to see in the area. The precincts the guide covers are Gamla Stan & Riddarholmen, Norrmalm & Skeppsholmen, Djurgården, Södermalm, Hornstull & Långholmen, Östermalm, Vasastan, Ladugårdsgärdet, and Kungsholmen. Go beyond the city’s glittering surface to underground cafes and basement dance clubs, tiny vintage boutiques tucked inside historic buildings, epic fashion and the perfect cafés for fika (the daily coffee break).
Also included is a selection of 'field trips' to encourage you to explore outside the city, including nearby islands like Björkö (home to the viking city of Birka), as well as the popular university city of Uppsala.
