Södermalm favourite

Not long after opening, Bleck became one of the hippest spots in town, not least thanks to its sunny terrace which guests flock to in fine weather.

The menu includes small and medium dishes with a large vegetarian selection, inspired by Europe and other parts of the world.

Stockholm classic

For more than 90 years, Tranan has been a place to meet up, have something to eat and a glass or two of wine. A real Stockholm institution, in other words.

Travel back 100 years in time

Experience Stockholm as it was around 1900 - in its most luxurious guise. The Hallwyl museum was built as a private palace for the von Hallwyl couple, who were one of Sweden's richest families at the time. Today it looks just as they left it in 1920 and the baroness's huge art collection remains. Either wander round at your own speed, listen to a live or audio guide or go on a dramatised tour.
