Music, Vinyl and CDs |
Skånegatan 90 Stockholm 116 37 Sweden +46 (0)8 640 8839 |
This is one of Stockholm's best record stores, which stocks music records with jazz influences. Rap and house get their fair share of shelf space as well, and the selection of the music is firmly placed off the charts. Every item in the store is elaborately designed to fit the futuristic vibes. There are three turntables, where you can listen to an unknown 12-inch record before buying it. 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 |

Lively Latino music |
Södermannagatan 10 Stockholm 116 23 Sweden +46 (0)8 643 7781 |
Opened by Julio Carbonel, El Barrio is one of the city's most prominent record shops that deals in Latin music. You will find the latest salsa, merengue and tango records, which are imported mainly from Miami, New York and Colombia. It even sells dance instruction videos. You can order a record, which you'll get in two to seven days. Most impressive is Carbonel's limitless knowledge about Latin music. He'll willingly talk about the history and origins of salsa, his personal experiences, the fake salseros roaming the streets of Stockholm and lots more. So, stop by if you're a true Salsa lover.

Swedish design bowling over the world |
Götgatan 32 Sturegallerian Stockholm 118 21 Sweden +46 (0)8 714 9601 http://www.ordning-reda.com/ |
If you translate "ordning och reda" literally into English it would come out as "order and method". Ever since it opened its first store in Stockholm, this chain has succeeded in creating its own signature stationery. The simple and clean design that Swedish furniture is famous for has been adapted to the collection of folders, pencil-cases, letter-writing paper and so forth. The bound diary is a bestseller every year. All the prices are high but if you are willing to pay, you will get great-quality Swedish stationery here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Located just above the Skanstull subway station, Skivfönstret is a popular record store. It specialises in rock and pop and you'd also find a good selection of Afro-American artists.
