Shopping in Stockholm

Stockholm is the best-rated city for shopaholics. From the latest designer stores and independent boutiques to handy malls.

The main street Västerlanggatan in Gamla Stan, is full of souvenir shops and tourist restaurants. Then you will find some slightly more interesting shops, and you should turn down the small side streets filled with exciting shops.

The island of Södermalm is the place to visit. You will now find many smart clothing stores and galleries in the former working-class district.

The large luxury shops and department stores are located in the Norrmalm area. Here you will find i.a. Stockholm's central pedestrian walk Drottninggatan. In Hamngatan, you find PKhuset and NK department stores and several chains such as H&M and Zara.
