Stockholm Shopping

Sights Nightlife Performing Arts Sports and Activities

The downtown shopping district around Drottninggatan, Birger Jarlsgatan, Biblioteksgatan, and Hamngatan has department stores and malls, clothing boutiques, and a wide variety of other shops. For souvenirs and crafts, peruse the boutiques and galleries in Västerlånggatan, the main street of Gamla Stan. On Södermalm, hit the shops that line the raised sidewalk at the start of Hornsgatan for jewelry, crafts, and fine art, or head to Götgatan and SoFo (the area south of Folkungagatan) for trendy and creative shops selling new and vintage clothing, design, and more. Shopping hours are generally 10 to 6 on weekdays, 10 to 5 on Saturday, and 11 or noon to 4 or 5 on Sunday. Department stores and many chain retailers stay open later, while smaller independent boutiques may have different hours and are often closed on Sunday.
