Private Walking Day Tour of Stockholm City Highlights
This walking tour visits the special icons and points out the best places to take a break as well as which restaurants will be well-suited to your families tastes.

Day at leisure for self-exploration.

When you have visited all the city center icons, you may wish to venture across the bridge today and visit Stockholm’s Sofo (the area south of Folkungagatan) where the Stockholmers live and eat. The trendiest neighborhood in Stockholm, known for its cafés, cool shops and plethora of Stockholmers favorite spots. The area is small in size but bursting at the seams with things to see and do. Getting to Sofo is as simple as jumping on the subway’s green line and hopping off at Medborgarplatsen, then heading south.

Here are some tips on how to best enjoy the coolest part of the city.

Where to eat – Of course, you can’t come to Stockholm without trying some meatballs so why not try to score a table at the tiny and very popular Meatballs for the People (my favorite eatery!!!), which is just a few doors away from String, another great café. Even Stockholmers were surprised at how many ways there were to make meatballs when this place opened up back in 2013. All ingredients are organically sourced and you can take your pick from among scintillating delights such as wild boar, veal, fennel – or even classic Swedish meatballs. Located at Nytorgsgatan 30, open 11am-10pm daily.

The heart of Sofo is the bustling square Nytorget and its here – or near here – that you’ll discover some of the best cafés and restaurants. Urban Deli is the original local café in Stockholm and while it’s branched out to other locations, the one on Nytorget remains the best. You can enjoy a weekend brunch, a filling yet reasonably priced lunch or dinner, grab a coffee to go, or simply pick up a few items from the deli. Café String, just off the square on Nytorgetsgatan, is another great option; known for its eclectic interior, which is made up of found or donated items, String is cosy, comfy, and the perfect place to chill out. The food is delicious (particularly the cakes) and extremely cheap (for Stockholm) and the staff is known for its friendliness.

What to do – Katarina Kyrka is the imposing church that dominates the skyline of Sofo. The original structure was built in the mid-1600s but in 1723 a fire completely destroyed it. Rebuilding began immediately under the supervision of city architect Göran Josua Adelcrantz, but then in 1990 the church burned down again, with nothing but the external walls remaining. So Stockholm rebuilt it – again. Why visit this church? It has lunch concerts for free, the interior and the surrounding park and graveyard are beyond peaceful, and a number of famous Swedes are buried here, including assassinated Foreign Minister Anna Lindh.

Stockholm’s Spårvägs Museum (The Stockholm Transport Museum) is a hidden – and cheap little gem. You can sit in a horse tram from the 1800s, drive a subway train, as you see how Stockholmers have gotten around the city through the ages. And how do you get yourself to this museum? Take the number 2 bus from Slussen heading towards ‘Sofia’ and get off at the Spårvägsmuseet stop.

For culture vultures who are tired of museums take some time to visit the Centrum för Fotografi at Tjärhovsgatan 44. CFF holds six annual shows featuring the best of both Swedish and international photography, with an eye towards supporting the efforts of professional photographers by bringing their work to the people.

Vita Bergen is the park on the hill where people watching is at a premium. Grab some lunch to go and settle on the grass and just watch the parade of cool, trendy Stockholmers do their thing. After the relaxing is over, explore the nearby wooden houses, which date back hundreds of years. During summer, there is free theatre in the evenings, where you can sip a glass of wine and make new friends.

Make your way a short distance to the Central Train Station. The Arlanda Express train takes you from the Central Train Station to the Stockholm Arlanda Airport in 20 minutes. Departure: every 15 minutes (for most of the day).
