Shopping in Stockholm
Shopping choices range from upmarket boutiques in Östermalm to the edgier shops and markets of Södermalm, especially in SoFo (South of Folkungagatan) and Hornstull. Traditional souvenir-hunters take home classic Swedish glassware from Nordiska Kristall. Alternatively, buy your very own slice of Scandinavian chic in the form of homeware at vintage grotto Jackson's. Designer showcase shops like Tiogruppen are great for quirky gifts. Shops generally open Mon-Fri 10am-7pm, Sat 10am-5pm and Sun 12pm-4pm.
