Hötorget torghandel

Shopping in a market can be terribly cozy with all the flowers or fresh goods that are nice and look tempting, but this does not apply to this. In the middle of the city, a lot of running at people everywhere and all the sellers are screaming for you. You don't have time to glance at a thing before they start trying to sell on you, which creates irritation.
There is a good selection at the square if you need something but too stressful, if I am going to shop at the market I would rather go somewhere else.

Square in the middle of the city that has become an attribute of Stockholm.
Hötorget has for many years been a market place, previously meat, fish, bread, game were also sold, but for sanitary reasons this was banned and moved into the market hall instead. But after 1914, the square offers fruit, flowers and vegetables at a cheap price. Personally, I can find it a little uncomfortable to wander between the market stalls because of aggressive vendors but it just ignores, it's part of their sales technique.
A tip is to arrive about 30 minutes before closing as most people lower the price by half, especially the flower sellers.
Every Sunday between 08:00 and 18:00 there is a flea market at Hötorget.

On the surface it’s charming, but watch out, these people are as tricky as you can be. They say one price but charge you another. You say you want a K, they give you 800 g but charge you for a K. No more veggies and fruit from these assh*les.
