What you’ll do

This itinerary is focusing on my most frequented area in Stockholm: Södermalm! It is known as a more relaxed and hipster area in Stockholm and you have a lot of vintage & second hand shops, great cafés, bars and restaurants here. Not to forget about art and great Sunday activities.

This day is packed with a healthy breakfast and lots of vintage and second hand shopping in Södermalm! This is how I like to spend my weekends. You`ll get to experience one of the best view points, food, art and if you have the stamina some partying!

I love to start my day with an açai bowl at Mahalo and this is also a great starting point for a second hand tour in Södermalm. Just take the metro to Zinkensdamm and you`re nearly there.

From here its only a few meters to Herr Judit where you can shop for mens wear and can find some really good vintage pieces. Just next door you can also find Judits second hand which carries women`s wear.
Let`s continue on our thrifting route (you can easily walk here) where you will find Stadsmissionen Seccond hand where I love to browse around, it´s not as upscale as Herr Judit and you can make some really good bargains here.
Right next door you will find Röda Korset (red cross) second hand store, which was just renovated and really looks like a boutique nowadays.
From here let`s walk across the beautiful Mariatorget and pass the church to get to STHLM Grön. This again is a store that has more selected vintage pieces and I always stop by here to see which new piecces they got in.
Time for a coffee stop - head to Drop coffee roasters just across the street. Drop Coffee is an award winning roastery in Stockholm, representing Sweden four times in the World Coffee Roasting Championship. They often have light roasted coffee for pour-over, so check with the barista if you like a dark roast. They also get their baked goods from popular Svedjan bageri.
From here we are heading to Humana Second Hand, which is a short walk down the street and is a middle range second hand shop price wise. I specifically like to come here to look for blazers and if you are into 2000s and Gen-Z styles, you will for sure find something here.
Time for lunch at an all time favourite - Mama Wolf. They started out in a smaller location not far away that I frequently visited and now they moved to a bigger venue. The food is amazing here, but the service can be a bit slow - worth the wait!
Now that we have satisfied our hunger, lets head to one of the citys very best view points. You might want to pack some drinks if you are in the mood and want to stay a bit longer. Again, you can walk here easily and there are two paths to get up here once you are there. If you feel like climbing you can climb up the rocks just in front of you, but to the right you will also find an easy path that leads you up to the stunning views! Especially great when the sun is setting!
Lets head back to the hotel and freshen up (maybe have a drink at the cozy bar) and then its time for some culture on this trip! Fotografiska is by far my favourite museum in Stockholm. It is situated in an old industrial building and hosts pieces by some of the greatest photographers. You will always discover something new and I have a membership because I love to come here so often. So if this is something for you, check their membership prices. What I also really enjoy here is the restaurant - not only does it have an amazing view over the city with its large floor to ceiling windows, but also great food! Some of the chefs here have experience from NOMA, which was voted the best restaurant in the world.
If you are in for a party night - head to Trädgården. In summer they already start early here (and the earlier you get in, the cheaper the entrance fee). So whenever you feel ready get here - easily by metro to Skanstull and walk from there. Just follow the crowds. It`s a fantastic venue year round and especially in summer you can have a great party under the Stockholm sky (and Skanstull bridge).
