This is one of Stockholm's best record stores, which stocks music records with jazz influences.

Andreas Skivor also sells vinyl and CDs, and by chance if you are interested in obscure classics you can find them here; second-hand or new. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Stylistically Swedish |
Grev Turegatan 13 Stockholm 114 38 Sweden +46 (0)8 5450 2220 http://www.annaholtblad.com |
"Fashion should be fun" is what Swedish designer Anna Holtblad says, and this motto permeates this small, tasteful and charming boutique at Grev Turegatan. The shop was designed by Anna's partner, architect Thomas Sandell, who greatly influenced the design of Stockholm's restaurants and shops in the 1990s. The clothes are stylistically pure, of a high quality and traditional, while they also manage to reflect our time. The high prices reflect the beauty of the designs and the quality. The items are made with very few copies, so the chances of running into someone with the same pink trousers are very slim. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Books from floor to ceiling |
Sveavägen 104 Stockholm 113 50 Sweden +46 8 673 7300 |
This is a popular second-hand bookshop. Once you have passed the entrance it is no more than ten metres until you have reached the end of the store. That doesn't mean that there are few books here, though: what they have done here is use the height of the ceiling. Standing on the floor looking up at the highest bookshelves might make you feel a little dizzy. The range of books are mostly fiction and if you spend some time here you will probably find really good books here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A maze of shops |
Grev Turegatan 9A Stockholm 114 46 Sweden +46 (0)8 453 5067 http://www.sturegallerian.se |
This is a haven for all shopaholics. With over 50 shops, Sturegallerian fulfills all your consumer needs from under one roof. The shops are pretty lavish and their displays quite tempting. You could spend all day just window-shopping. The confusing arrangement and addresses makes many loose their way more than once. After the exhausting tour of this mall, head to its Café Gateau-the pastries are divine. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A Swedish Classic |
Strandvägen 5 Stockholm 114 84 Sweden +46 8 670 1600 http://www.svenskttenn.se |
Svenskt Tenn is as natural a part of Swedish design as the herring is of the smorgasbord. The company was started by Estrid Ericsson in 1927. During the 1930s, she worked with the Austrian architect Josef Frank, and together they developed the store's philosophy: a home is never complete-it is under constant development. It was Josef Frank who designed the famous patterns filled with insects, flowers, birds and trees that have been synonymous with Svenskt Tenn. The store offers textiles, furniture, lamps and gifts. There is something for everyone, regardless of whether you like cool, or a more classic style. The prices are high, but everything is of top quality- from candy to couches. You can purchase wedding gifts also. Review © 2007, Wcities |
