Södermalm
Stockholm's liveliest district, lined with independent design shops, vintage stores and cafés, with hilltop viewpoints overlooking the old town.
Södermalm lies south of the old town and is reached directly by crossing the bridge at Slussen. The SoFo area, south of Folkungagatan, is packed with design boutiques, vintage shops and cafés, perfect for fika. On the northern side, Monteliusvägen, the Skinnarviksberget rock outcrop and Mariaberget Square offer views over the old town and City Hall. Fjällgatan is the filming location for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Take the metro to Slussen, Medborgarplatsen or Mariatorget. A half day of walking and browsing is ideal.
