If you’re interested in urban trends, Stockholm has two main districts to visit. The first is the area comprising the vibrant city centre, the entertainment hub of Stureplan, and the exclusive Östermalm district. Here you find most of the large department stores, international brands, luxury shops, museums, galleries, nightclubs and gourmet restaurants. The second is the Södermalm neighbourhood and the area around Götgatan and “SoFo” (South of Folkungagatan), with its diverse blend of youthful, trendy, creative and often more bohemian fashion and design shops, plus a wealth of restaurants, bars, cafés, markets and galleries.
Two other areas with their own distinctive style that will appeal to cosmopolitan visitors are Vasastan and Kungsholmen. In Vasastan, the areas around Odenplan and Roslagsgatan and Rörstrandsgatan streets offer many exciting locations for shopping, restaurants, galleries and nightlife. On Kungsholmen, the district around Fridhemsplan has gained new energy with many interesting new restaurants and shops.
