Highlights
- Slussen - Slussen translates to “the lock” and the reason for the lock is the difference in water level. Two bodies of water surround Stockholm: there is Lake Mälaren on the one side (west) and the Baltic Sea on the other (east). Lake Mälaren is approx. 70cm higher than the Baltic Sea.
- Götgatan 26 - Götgatan turns in to Götgatsbacken and is the main pedestrian street of Södermalm, or Söder, as it has been established that’s what the locals would say.
- Omnipollos hatt - Omnipollos hatt (Omnipollos Hat) is one of the many places on Södermalm that can be described as “out of the ordinary”. Omnipollo is originally a phantom brewery and nowadays also a pub.
- Katarina Hissen - Katarina Elevator, once a substitute for taking the stairs up the cliff side of Södermalm, today a “picture perfect” viewpoint/photo stop.
- Mosebacke Torg - Mosebackestorg, a quiet square where the theatre, Södra Teatern, offers the most popular Biergarten in Stockholm during the summer.
- Fiskargatan - This is where Stieg Larsson, the author of the Millennium Trilogy, pictured Lisbeth Salander living in the second book.
- Katarina Kyrka - The original church was inaugurated in 1695 but has since been rebuilt twice after being destroyed by fires.
- Mäster Mikaels Gata - This lovely little street got its name in 1939 after Mikael Reissuer, the executor of the city of Stockholm for 15 years in the 1600s.
- Cornelisparken - The park is dedicated to troubadour Cornelis Vreeswijk, the Swedish equivalent to Bob Dylan, and was inaugurated in 2000.
- Meatballs for the People - Meatballs for the People is seen as the Södermalm temple to the most Swedish of dishes – it really is more of a deli than a restaurant, but it’s worth a mention as a great place to sample the mighty köttbulle (meatball) as it should be eaten.
- SoFo & Medborgarplatsen - SoFo, the trendy area created by local designers, found on the list of the top 15 coolest neighbourhoods in the world.
- Nytorget - Nytorget, shop-till-you-drop on the surrounding streets then replenish your energy at one of many hip cafés and restaurants on the square.

Great place to start in Stockholm! - We had a really great time on the tour. It was just my daughter and I, so it was more like a walk with a friend. Our guide Sophie was so sweet, funny, and knowledgeable. Most shops weren’t open yet, but it was nice to walk the streets without it being crowded. We loved it and would recommend!
