Expensive, the amount of tourists in Gamla Stan (I'm one of them!)
In a nutshell

It's not as cold as you think, immaculate streets, bring an umbrella, everyone is not blonde (a lot of them though) and I never met anyone named 'Helga'.
251 Reviews Sjöguden good time's sculpture is located on the wharf next to Räntmästartrappan in Old Town in Stockholm. A really unusual type of sculpture, not my style, but still interesting! The Sculptor, Carl Milles, had intended to place ten pieces of massive, sculptural figures at regular intervals along...
Kungliga Slottet (Royal Palace)
135 Reviews As we weren't able to do a Palace tour, we decided to go and have a look at the Royal Chapel, located in the opposite door to where the entrance ticket's are bought. The Royal Chapel is FREE OF CHARGE. During the summer season the chapel is open to the public twice a week, allowing a viewing of...

13 Reviews I took my girlfriend there last night and the place looked very nice, but the chicken dish I ordered tasted like it was made 2 days ago!! I almost broke my plate when I was trying to cut it in eatable pieces. When the bill came and I mentioned the waiter about it, all he said was: ´I don´t make the...
38 Reviews Hello, Debaser Slussen has 18 years limit Sun-Thu, and have really good events and a busy dance floor. Music interested, indie/rock people. You find Debaser concert halls both at Slussen and Medborgarplatsen. I'd opt for the Slussen Debaser, just like it better. Good bar/lounge outdoors and nice...
35 Reviews The Bishops arms is one of those pubs by Stockholm's central that is always "on". There's usually people (locals and tourists) coming and going and they have affordable beers. The decor looks like an old English library/work room, with books and old train pictures and some spitting pots (!) hanging...
58 Reviews The Metro of Stockholm is called Tunnelbana (T-Bana) and consists of three lines (green, red and blue). All stations are marked with a white T on blue background and many of them are famous for their nice decorations. Tickets can be bought in coupons (1, 10 or 20 coupons) or as travel cards (1, 3...
54 Reviews Stockholm has an excellent public transport system, including the subway (T-Bana), buses, trams, and even boats. UPDATED Fares as of November 2011: SL has a complicated fare system involvint "units" or "coupons." Travel within 1 zone (see a T-Bana Zone map to view the zones) requires the use of 2...
16 Reviews One of the most famous shopping streets of Stockholm is the pedestrianised Drottninggatan. It is packed with all kinds of shops, stores, restaurants and cafes. At the corner to Klarabergsgatan the department store "Ahlens" can be found. It is one of the largest stores in Sweden. PUB (Paul &...

You can see exhibitions of local costumes, interior design, local events, etc. Address: Djurgådensvägen 6-16 (bus 44/47:...
10 Reviews I add this one under warning as not to confuse anyone. First, this PUB is not a pub as many of you might think but a department store. 2nd, in this department store prices are way beyond what I consider good barging, I think that charging over 200$ for a jeans coming from the "east" is a total of a...
7 Reviews It will be you and other tourist if there are any in there at the same time as you. It is a small bar and they give you coats and gloves to wear. I cant remember but I think it was like $30 to get in with 1-2 drinks. I would still go again even though it was a trap....
19 Reviews If you are planning to use the public transport from airport to the city you have to have convenient rollon luggage, I originally through of taking the train but found it maybe cheaper to get a cab.

Hat, scarf and gloves are essential - try Stadium for cheap sports gloves, hats, scarves otherwise there are lots of designer places with very expensive ones! hand creams, moisturisers...
Skärgården (Stockholm Archipelago)
21 Reviews Sometimes I just crave for instant nature. One of my favorite bus-trips goes from Slussen to Björkviks brygga. The bus takes you there in about an hour. At Björkvik there are nice bare cliffs or lovely sandy beaches for sunbathing, outdoor loo, large woods to hike and a beautiful sea to swim in....
10 Reviews One of the nicest and well hidden streets in Södermalm is Åsögatan. This is the street where you can find typical Swedish red, wooden houses in the middle of the city. To get there, take the green line of the underground (T-bana) to Medborgarplatsen. From the station head south along Söderleden, and...

Erik, the enthusiastic owner, was happy to help us set up the baby carrier and give us advice for our journey. He had...
