The best autumn markets to visit in Sweden

The best autumn markets to visit in Sweden

As the autumn chill sets in the days start getting shorter, we can think of few better ways to spend a weekend than wrapping up warm and heading to a market. Think crisp air, pumpkins piled high, little stalls brimming with handmade crafts and the smell of freshly made waffles drifting through the market. Some of these markets come with fairground rides, funfairs and live performances, while others put small-scale producers and artisan food centre stage. What they all have in common is that they’re in lovely destinations that are well worth a trip in their own right. Whatever you’re into, we hope you’ll find something here that’s right up your street. So pull on your cosiest woolly jumper, check out the list and start planning your next autumn adventure!

BÀsta sakerna att göra i Stockholm

BÀsta sakerna att göra i Stockholm

Visst finns ABBA, Yung Lean, Avicii och Zara Larsson. Men om en stockholmare kĂ€nner sig nostalgisk kring sin hemstad Ă€r chansen stor att hen brister ut i Lasse Berghagens 90-talsklassiker Stockholm i mitt hjĂ€rta. Rekommenderat: BĂ€sta sakerna att göra i Stockholms coolaste kvarter Den vĂ€lkĂ€nda sĂ„ngen Ă€r en kĂ€rleksförklaring till staden och hyllar dess skönhet med det gyllene nordiska ljuset och den "perfekta blandningen av sött och salt". Men det Ă€r inte bara den salta skĂ€rgĂ„rden eller svenskarnas kĂ€rlek till fika och godis som ger Stockholm sin unika dragningskraft. Det Ă€r Ă€ven den sĂ€rprĂ€glade kombinationen av Ă„terhĂ„llsam nordisk minimalism och invĂ„narnas stĂ€ndiga blick mot framtiden. Det Ă€r Södermalms trendiga pubar, bistroer och second hand-butiker. De flytande barerna lĂ€ngs StrandvĂ€gen och Strömkajen med sina soldrĂ€nkta uteserveringar.

The 40 coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2026

The 40 coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2026

Over the past half-decade or so, much has changed in the way we live, work and play in our cities. It wasn’t too long ago that lockdowns rendered the city centre all but obsolete and brought to the fore the vital role of our immediate neighbourhoods and communities.  Now, the balance has been restored. Our local neighbourhood remains fundamental: mini-villages where the barista knows your order, where local restaurants, bars and indie businesses thrive, and where communities continue to band together for all sorts of cool stuff, from art walks and day festivals to creating greener streets and pedestrian-friendly spaces. And six years on from the pandemic, the city centre is seeing a renaissance, with brand-new music venues, galleries, coffee shops and more opening up and welcoming a new generation of hybrid workers and the back-to-the-office crowd (and, of course, city-breakers and tourists).  On this year’s list of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods, you’ll see this mix play out. There are downtown hubs and seaside strips, homely enclaves and warehouse districts, all nominated by our global network of on-the-ground experts. This lucky lot spends their time exploring every corner of their hometowns to discover the best places to eat, drink, shop and hang out right now, so you can trust we know what we’re talking about. To decide the final ranking, a panel of Time Out editors vetted each neighbourhood against a range of criteria, including food and drink, nightlife, unique loc

20 best things to do in Stockholm

Sure, there’s always ABBA, Yung Lean, Avicii and Zara Larsson, but if a Stockholmer gets sentimental, he or she might burst into the ’90s Lasse Berghagen song ‘Stockholm i mitt hjĂ€rta’. The song, which translates to ‘Stockholm in My Heart’, is a love letter to the city, celebrating its beauty with its golden Nordic light and its ‘perfect mixture of sweet and salt’. Do not miss:  The top things to do in Slaktis – Stockholm's coolest neighbourhood But it’s not only the salty sea of the archipelago or Swedes’ obsession with fika and candy that gives the city its unique appeal. It’s that distinct blend of restrained Nordic minimalism alongside a restless pursuit of the future. It’s the cool pubs, bistros and thrift stores of Södermalm; the glitzy floating bars at StrandvĂ€gen and Strömkajen with their sun-drenched patios; and the buzzing backstreets of downtown Norrmalm and Stureplan, where Michelin restaurants and high-end eateries blend with fashionable shopping streets and nightclubs. Here are the essential things to do, see and eat in the stunning Scandinavian capital – enough to make you want to join in the serenade. Some of our Stockholm highlights:  Take a stroll on Stockholm's most beautiful street, StrandvĂ€gen Or do your own walking sight seeing tour around the Heights of Söder Scream your lungs out and smell the flowers at DjurgĂ„rden  Watch world-class photography at Fotografiska  Take a boat trip to the nearest Stockholm archipelago Island  Have a red velvet croissant
Stockholm’s best hotels: handpicked favourites from luxury to budget

Stockholm’s best hotels: handpicked favourites from luxury to budget

These days, hotel marketing often seems obsessed with making you feel at home. But for me, much of the magic of checking into a hotel is about getting away from home. The fact that it doesn’t feel like home is precisely the point. Room service at your fingertips, beautiful designer furniture and a generous breakfast buffet. Crisp, freshly laundered sheets, everything perfectly in place and fragrant cut flowers on the table, all without having to lift a finger. Then there’s the excitement of discovering somewhere new, soaking up fresh impressions and spending a few days getting to know a new neighbourhood, city or part of town. For a capital that likes to see itself in the same league as Paris, London and New York, a little delusion of grandeur never hurt anyone, Stockholm has a hotel scene that genuinely delivers. Sure, you won’t get the kind of lavish service where hotel staff jump at your every whim. That’s simply not the Swedish way, with our flat hierarchies and strong egalitarian tradition. But that said, Stockholm leaves little to be desired. And we do take our design and morning coffee seriously. There are the grand old luxury hotels with front-row seats on the waterfront in Norrmalm and Östermalm, the sleek modern hotels around Brunkebergstorg, charming boutique stays tucked into the wonky corners and quirky spaces of Vasastan, and new openings on Södermalm where the food is given just as much attention as the rooms. Time Out has combed through Stockholm’s hotel scene

Stockholms bÀsta hotell: Handplockade favoriter frÄn lyx till budget

Nuförtiden handlar mĂ„nga hotells marknadsföring ofta om att skapa en kĂ€nsla av att vara hemma. Men för mig handlar mycket av magin med att checka in just att fĂ„ komma bort. Det Ă€r ju kĂ€nslan av att det inte Ă€r hemma som Ă€r hela grejen. Möjligheten till roomservice, snygga designmöbler och en vĂ€l tilltagen frukostbuffet. Krispigt nytvĂ€ttade lakan, att allt Ă€r i perfekt ordning och att det finns doftande snittblommor pĂ„ bordet – utan att man behöver lyfta ett finger. Och sĂ„ den spĂ€nnande kĂ€nslan av att upptĂ€cka nya miljöer, samla nya intryck och bekanta sig nĂ€rmare med ett nytt kvarter, stad eller stadsdel under ett par dagar. För en huvudstad som gĂ€rna ser sig i samma spegel som Paris, London och New York – lite storhetsvansinne har vĂ€l ingen dött av – sĂ„ har Stockholm ett hotellutbud som faktiskt levererar. LĂ€s Ă€ven: BĂ€sta sakerna att se och göra i Stockholm Visst, du möts inte av den dĂ€r opulenta servicen dĂ€r hotellpersonalen hoppar jĂ€mfota för din minsta vink. Det ligger helt enkelt inte i den svenska naturen, med vĂ„ra platta hierarkier och vĂ„rt starka egalitĂ€ra arv. Men med det sagt sĂ„ lĂ€mnar Stockholm inget att önska. Dessutom tar vi design och vĂ„rt morgonkaffe pĂ„ allvar. Vi har de anrika lyxhotellen pĂ„ första parkett vid kajerna i Norrmalm och Östermalm, de moderna skapelser vid Brunkebergstorg, charmiga boutiquehotell med sneda vinklar och vrĂ„r i Vasastan, och nyöppningar pĂ„ Söder dĂ€r gastronomin ges minst lika vikt som sjĂ€lva rummen.

Stockholms bÀsta glassbarer: VÄra iskalla favoriter

Var finns Stockholms bĂ€sta glass? Vi vet svaret. Men glass i den skandinaviska huvudstaden Ă€r inte lĂ€ngre bara vanilj i bĂ€gare och mjukglass med strössel. Runt om i stan hittar du numera allt frĂ„n mjukglass med asiatiska smaker till prisvinnande pistageglass och klassisk gelato i lĂ„nga rader. SĂ„ oavsett om du Ă€r ute efter ett snabbt sockerstopp mellan bad och parkhĂ€ng eller vill göra en hel utflykt av glassĂ€tandet finns det gott om anledningar att hĂ„lla servetterna nĂ€ra till hands i sommar.  Vi har Ă€tit oss igenom stan för att hitta glassbarer som verkligen sticker ut – frĂ„n familjevĂ€nliga institutioner till smĂ„ nischade stĂ€llen dĂ€r smakerna dröjer sig kvar lĂ„ngt efter sista skeden.
Stockholm’s best ice cream parlours: our  favourites

Stockholm’s best ice cream parlours: our favourites

Where can you find Stockholm’s best ice cream? We know the answer. But ice cream in the Scandinavian capital is no longer just vanilla in a tub and soft serve with sprinkles. Across the city, you’ll now find everything from black sesame soft serve to award-winning pistachio ice cream and rows of classic gelato. So whether you’re after a quick sugar stop between swims and park hangs or want to make a whole outing of your ice cream eating, there are plenty of reasons to keep the napkins close to hand this summer. We’ve eaten our way through the city to find five ice cream parlours that really stand out, from family-friendly institutions to small niche spots where the flavours linger long after the last spoonful.

SkĂ„la i solen – Stockholms bĂ€sta uteserveringar

SĂ€g ordet uteservering till en svensk och chansen Ă€r stor att du kommer fĂ„ samma energi som en golden retriever som just blivit tillfrĂ„gad om den vill ut pĂ„ promenad. Det Ă€r en omedelbar reaktion av ren, oförfalskad glĂ€dje. Varje maj Ă€r det samma visa. SĂ„ fort den första asfalten Ă€r sopad frĂ„n grus och den första solstrĂ„len faktiskt genererar mĂ€tbar vĂ€rme öppnar uteserveringarna och Stockholms gator svĂ€mmar över med lokalbor med D-vitaminbrist som vill ta sig en öl i solen. Och nĂ€r vi börjar nĂ€rma oss juni Ă€r hajpen total – överallt glittrar solglasögonen dĂ€r stockholmarna slagit sig till ro pĂ„ stadens trottoarer, bryggor och terrasser. Men var i Sveriges huvudstad Ă€r sollĂ€get som bĂ€st och ölen som kallast? Vilka stĂ€llen har lĂ€, mysigast omgivningar och bjuder pĂ„ skönast kĂ€nsla?  HĂ€r Ă€r mina val av Stockholms bĂ€sta uteserveringar – platserna dit jag, och lĂ„t oss vara Ă€rliga, resten av stan, flockas till sĂ„ fort solen tittar fram.

The best of Sandhamn: Jet-set jewel of the Stockholm archipelago

The best of Sandhamn: Jet-set jewel of the Stockholm archipelago

Far out, on the outermost edge of the archipelago, lies Sandön, or Sandhamn as the uninitiated call it. Here, every morning starts with a salute on the jetty, and when the last ferry full of tourists has set off back towards Strömkajen, music from Seglarn, the archipelago’s hottest nightclub, can be heard bouncing between the boats. But first, we need to clear up the name: technically, Sandön is the correct name for the island, while Sandhamn is the name of its main settlement. Sandhamn, however, has long been the commonly used name, even if a few loyal locals stubbornly stick to the official one. The island is part of VĂ€rmdö municipality, but it has a strong identity of its own, shaped by age-old traditions, royal glamour and, let’s be honest, pricey restaurant bills and plenty of pomp and partying.  But that’s only one side of Sandhamn. Beyond the regattas and gleaming yachts, tall pine forests stretch out across the landscape. They stand firm through the seasons, just like the local entrepreneurs, the island’s true driving force, who are constantly finding new ways to develop and evolve their businesses. If you don’t have your own boat, the easiest way to get here is by ferry from central Stockholm, a journey of around 2.5 hours. It’s a popular day trip, but stay the night and you’ll get much more out of the island. Accomendation options on Sandhamn include the classic Seglarhotellet (Seglarn), a few simpler inns and the cosy Sands. For something more affordable, try KSSS

Ett Hem

Ett Hem

5 out of 5 stars
Behind the heavy metal gate in Östermalm’s lush LĂ€rkstaden lies an immaculate property. Here, rubbing shoulders with embassies and grand townhouses, the place hums with the quiet, effortless luxury of designer Ilse Crawford and founder Jeanette Mix. With more staff than guests, Ett Hem could easily feel overly grand, but you never feel fussed over in the traditional sense. That’s also Ett Hem’s greatest triumph and defining quality. The service is personal and relaxed. Everything is exquisitely put together, from the communal spaces filled with contemporary art and hand-picked designer furniture to the exceptionally good food. If you’re hungry, just head down to the kitchen and have a chat with the chefs, who’ll whip up something based on your preferences and whatever produce is freshest that day, often sourced from dedicated small-scale producers. Then eat wherever you fancy, whether that’s in the kitchen, dining room, greenhouse or library. The house also has a leafy courtyard, dotted with sculptures and flowers from its in-house florist. Speaking of sculptures, the art deserves a mention. Ett Hem isn’t just one of Stockholm’s best hotels, it’s also one of the city’s most interesting galleries. Throughout the property, selected works from Mix’s private collection hang on the walls, with pieces by international giants such as Tracey Emin and Wolfgang Tillmans alongside acclaimed Swedish artists including Mamma Andersson and Jockum Nordström.

Bakom den tunga metallporten i Östermalms prunkande LĂ€rkstaden döljer sig en oklanderlig fastighet. HĂ€r, vĂ€gg i vĂ€gg med ambassader och pampiga stadsvillor, vibrerar vĂ€ggarna av en tyst, sjĂ€lvfallen lyx signerad Ilse Crawford och grundaren Jeanette Mix.  Med en personalstyrka som överstiger antalet gĂ€ster skulle atmosfĂ€ren pĂ„ Ett Hem kunna kĂ€nnas överdrivet pompös men du kĂ€nner dig aldrig pĂ„passad i ordets klassiska bemĂ€rkelse.  Det Ă€r ocksĂ„ det som Ă€r Ett Hems största framgĂ„ng och starkaste signum. Servicen Ă€r personlig och avslappnad. Allt Ă€r utsökt komponerat, frĂ„n sĂ€llskapsytorna som Ă€r fyllda med samtidiga konst och handplockade designmöbler, till maten som hĂ„ller otroligt hög kaliber. Är du hungrig gĂ„r du bara ner till köket och pratar med kockarna, som svĂ€nger ihop nĂ„got utifrĂ„n dina preferenser och dagens rĂ„varor som ofta kommer frĂ„n smĂ„ dedikerade och smĂ„skaliga producenter. Maten avnjuts sedan direkt i köket, matsalen, vĂ€xthuset, biblioteket eller var du Ă€n kĂ€nner för. Huset har Ă€ven en lummig innergĂ„rd förskönad av skulpturer och blommor frĂ„n den egna floristen. PĂ„ tal om skulpturer bör ett par ord nĂ€mnas om konsten. Ett Hem Ă€r nĂ€mligen inte bara ett av Stockholms bĂ€sta hotell – det Ă€r Ă€ven ett av stadens mest intressanta gallerier. Runt om i fastigheten hĂ€nger utvalda delar ur Mixs privata samling, dĂ€r verk av internationella giganter som Tracey Emin och Wolfgang Tillmans hĂ€nger bredvid svenska tungviktare som Mamma Andersson och Jockum Nordström.OmrĂ„det: LĂ€rksta

Bildextra: SÄ ser nya spaanlÀggningen Acqua di Foresta ut pÄ Lidingö

För tvĂ„ Ă„r sedan: mörka kĂ€llarlokaler. Idag: En av Stockholms absolut vackraste spa-anlĂ€ggningar. HĂ€r vĂ€ntar flera relaxutrymmen, gotlĂ€ndsk sandsten, gregoriansk munkmusik och en Ă„ngbastu med swarovskikristaller. De marmorerade och handmĂ„lade vĂ€ggarna smyckas ocksĂ„ med verk frĂ„n Ă€garen Torbjörn Blomqvists privata samling, frĂ„n samtida konstnĂ€rer som Maria Friberg, Denise GrĂŒnstein och Esko MĂ€nnikkö. – Namnet Acqua di Foresta fĂ„ngar den kĂ€nsla vi vill förmedla – en upplevelse dĂ€r vatten, natur och stillhet stĂ„r i centrum. Vi Ă€r övertygade om att Wilhelmina Skogh, som en gĂ„ng lĂ€t uppföra Villa Foresta, hade uppskattat hur vi förvaltar platsens historia samtidigt som vi utvecklar den för framtiden, sĂ€ger Torbjörn Blomqvist, Ă€gare till Villa Foresta.  HĂ€r vĂ€ntar ett flertal olika miljöer och rum samt skrĂ€ddarsydda behandlingar och kroppsritualer – frĂ„n vĂ€rmande lera och Gua Sha till aromaterapi och massage med varma Himalayastenar. Bland höjdpunkterna finns Ă€ven spaanlĂ€ggningens unika signaturbehandling, dĂ€r du skĂ€ms bort med mjuk massage utförd med sidenvantar. Och inte minst – otrolig utsikt över vattnet och Frihamnen.

Here’s what Lidingö’s new Acqua di Foresta spa looks like in pictures

Two years ago: dark basement spaces. Today: one of Stockholm’s most beautiful spas. There are several relaxation areas, Gotland limestone, Gregorian chants and a steam sauna with Swarovski crystals. The marbled and hand-painted walls are also adorned with works from owner Torbjörn Blomqvist’s private collection, by contemporary artists including Maria Friberg, Denise GrĂŒnstein and Esko MĂ€nnikkö. ‘The name Acqua di Foresta captures the feeling we want to create, an experience where water, nature and tranquillity take centre stage. We’re convinced that Wilhelmina Skogh, who once had Villa Foresta built, would have appreciated the way we’re preserving the history of the place while developing it for the future,’ says Torbjörn Blomqvist, owner of Villa Foresta. There are several different spaces and rooms to explore, as well as bespoke treatments and body rituals, from warming clay and Gua Sha to aromatherapy and massage with hot Himalayan stones. Other highlights include the spa’s unique signature treatment, where you’re pampered with a gentle massage using silk gloves. And not least, incredible views over the water and Frihamnen. The new spa offers a number of different spaces and experiences: Prosecco pools – outdoor pools with views over the sea TornkĂ€llan – a secluded pool inside Villa Foresta’s tower Hot springs – heated outdoor pools Four different sauna experiences – spa sauna, steam sauna, infrared sauna and classic dry sauna The Rain Trail – a water experience alterna

Viral cinnamon bun café Bunzy has landed in Stockholm

Viral cinnamon bun café Bunzy has landed in Stockholm

There’s barely a self-respecting bakery in the city that doesn’t have cinnamon buns behind the counter. But the American version, baked in large trays and smothered in frosting, hasn’t exactly found its place on the fika scene. Until now! Yesterday, Buunzy opened its doors in the capital in Vasastan after around its first opening, six months ago in BorĂ„s. Behind the hype are a group of young entrepreneurs who have found success on social media with their buns – childhood friends Ahmad Selwaieh, 24, and Najeeb Altounji, 22– alongside Gabriella Davey, who created most of the recipes. And there’s been plenty of interest offline too. The day after opening, queues stretched out the door, with waits of around 40 minutes. Besides a savoury version with hot honey and pepperoni, there are plenty of sweet options, including Oreo-style, Biscoff and raspberry cream cheese, to name a few.  Adress: Hagagatan 37. The closest metro is Odenplan. The cafĂ© is open Thursday to Sunday from 10.00 to 18.00.

Here’s when Stockholm’s new dinosaur experience opens

Forget everything you know about dusty museum sculptures and glass display cases. On October 22, Bergrummet’s 2,500-square-metre space beneath Skeppsholmen will be transformed into a prehistoric landscape as DINOS Experience opens its doors. According to the organisers, the space has been completely transformed to give visitors the feeling of stepping into a prehistoric world filled with sound, light, wind and even smells. The exhibition, which features more than 2,000 plants, will also be home to 26 life-size animatronic dinosaurs, two complete skeletons and three skulls, as well as a bistro and bar. ‘We strongly believe in physical experiences at a time when more and more of our lives take place through a screen. There’s enormous power in creating places that people want to travel to, talk about and experience together,’ says Janne Broman, co-founder of DINOS Experience, in a press release. Tickets are already available to book in advance. Adult admission costs SEK 195, while tickets for children aged three and over cost SEK 145.

DÄ öppnar nya dinosaurieupplevelsen i Stockholm

Glöm allt du vet om dammiga museiskulpturer och monterglas. Den 22 oktober förvandlas Bergrummets 2 500 kvadratmeter under Skeppsholmen till ett levande urtidslandskap nĂ€r DINOS Experience slĂ„r upp portarna. Enligt arrangörerna har utrymmet förvandlats helt till att ge kĂ€nslan av att kliva in i en förhistorisk vĂ€rld fylld av ljud, ljus, vind – och dofter. I utstĂ€llningen, som bland annat innehĂ„ller över 2000 vĂ€xter vĂ€ntar Ă€ven 26 animatroniska dinosaurier i full skala, tvĂ„ kompletta skelett, tre kranier sĂ„vĂ€l som en bistro och bar. – Vi tror starkt pĂ„ fysiska upplevelser i en tid nĂ€r allt mer av vĂ„ra liv sker genom en skĂ€rm. Det finns en enorm kraft i att skapa platser mĂ€nniskor vill resa till, prata om och uppleva tillsammans, sĂ€ger Janne Broman, medgrundare av DINOS Experience i ett pressmeddelande. Biljetter gĂ„r redan att förboka. IntrĂ€de för vuxna kostar 195 kronor, barn frĂ„n 3 Ă„r gĂ„r in för 145.  LĂ€s Ă€ven: BĂ€sta sakerna att göra i Stockholm med barn

The Stockholm restaurants throwing crayfish parties in 2026

The Stockholm restaurants throwing crayfish parties in 2026

The Nordic tradition of throwing crayfish parties is essentially a festive late-summer excuse to wear goofy paper hats, sing drinking songs off-key and devour cold, dill-marinated freshwater crayfish with your bare hands. Many people enjoy the seafood feast at home or at their summer cottages, but the tradition is also a big deal at many of Stockholm’s restaurants and bars. From classic Stureplan spots like Sturehof and Teatergrillen, both in the heart of Stockholm’s upscale dining and nightlife district, to a ferry feast and some more modern take like Tak’s izakaya, here are some of Stockholm’s best spots for a crayfish party. Here’s when and where you can attend a crayfish party in Stockholm:  Ulla Winbladh, DjurgĂ„rden The historic Ulla Winbladh has been welcoming guests on DjurgĂ„rden since 1897, and here you can enjoy a truly classic crayfish party. The menu kicks off with chanterelle toast, followed by half a kilo of Swedish crayfish and finished off with almond cake and peach sorbet. Dates: August 6-16. Price: SEK 850. Book at: ullawinbladh.se/kraftor/ Rökeriet, FjĂ€derholmarna  At Rökeriet, crayfish parties are in full swing from early August until mid-September. FjĂ€derholmarna is close to the city and easy to reach, making this a lovely day trip where you can get a taste of the Stockholm archipelago alongside your snaps. A bit touristy, but still good fun. Date: now – september 14. Price: SEK 995. Book at: rokeriet-fjaderholmarna.se/en/crayfish-party Tennstopet, Odenp
