Weekend in Stockholm: 48 hours

If you've only got one weekend to experience Stockholm, you want to make every hour count. The Swedish capital consists of various neighbourhoods all with their own charm, whether you want to eat out in upmarket Östermalm, wander around hip Södermalm, visit Vasastan, do the tourist thing in the Old Town, discover Kungsholmen or go for a walk in leafy Djurgården. Stockholm is famous for being a city of islands, including the many wonderful destinations in the surrounding archipelago, but if you prefer to stay on dry land there's plenty to keep you busy. To make your choices a little easier, we've tailormade a 48 hour stay in Stockholm, from check in to check out. If you're spending the weekend in Stockholm, follow our complete guide to the ultimate stay.

Österlånggatan 17

Popular neighbourhood restaurant

With well-loved sister restaurants including Nybrogatan 38, Paraden and Nytorget 6, expectations are high when visiting Österlånggatan 17 in the Old Town. The restaurant provides a warm, intimate indoor restaurant and a large outdoor dining area among the cobbled alleyways of the old town in the summer months. This is a classic neighbourhood restaurant with an emphasis on flavour-packed international food.

 

Farang

Innovative fusion flavours

This may well be one of Stockholm's favourite restaurants. Farang takes diners on a flavour odyssey through Southeast Asia, but the luxurious fusion flavours are like nothing you've ever tasted before. Combine with innovative cocktails for the full experience.

Leoparden

Colourful bistro

This bright burst of colour will put a smile on anyone's face. The decor alone makes Leoparden worth a visit, but the menu and drinks list also deliver. Pizza and small dishes are the concept, along with all kinds of drinks. Drop-in is the order of the name of the game here, but it doesn't usually take too long to get a table.

For electronic music fans

Gigantic outdoor club during the summer months; techno and house club in the winter. Its tucked-away location under Skanstull bridge makes it feel quite secret, even though it draws in crowds of revellers all year round. If you prefer R&B there's also a dance floor for you.
