Shopping for all senses

Stockholm is known as a leading design centre, and design in the broadest sense – both contemporary and traditional – is an important part of the city’s exciting shopping scene.

Pricewise
On the whole, Stockholm is no longer a very expensive place to shop. In fact, it’s quite affordable in comparison with the larger European capitals. All the department stores and most of the larger shops are open seven days a week, offering simple, convenient duty-free shopping service for visitors from non-EU countries.
