We gather at Sergels Torg. Here is the Culture House (Kulturhuset) - go in and have a look at the Designtorget; there you find new ideas and designs for articles that you didn't know you needed. Kulturhuset is made up of several large floors with a lot of happenings, such as dance, theatre, music, and exhibitions. Take a look at its programme. We walk up some stairs and turn north (right) to Drottninggatan. This is the most outstanding shopping street in Stockholm. Street musicians are often here to entertain you when you pass. Åhléns's large department store is here and along Drottninggatan you will find numerous interesting and varied shops for shoes, clothes and everything else. Butterick's is the place to go to buy things for practical jokes, parties, masquerades, and so on: you will never come out empty-handed from this shop. Take one street to the right and you will end up at Hötorget. The name comes from the hay () market held here in old times. It is wonderful to see all the flowers, fruit, and little market stands everywhere. On one side of Hötorget is a blue building that houses Stockholm's Concert Hall, whose programme you should check during your stay.

There is a fantastic fresh food market under Hötorget. One of the entrances you will find at the cinema, saying "Hötorgshallen" on the door. Down here you can enjoy a bowl of fish soup or fresh bread or pastries and rest your feet before continuing. This place smells fantastic. You can buy something from anywhere around the world here.

Upstairs again, you can walk to the right past the blue Concert Hall. This takes you back to Sergels Torg with its high glass obelisk, which is lit up in the winter. Turn to the left on Hamngatan down to NK. This is another large department store known for its quality merchandise. Opposite NK is the Kungsträdgården. It was earlier the King's vegetable garden. Today it is a park with many activities going on daily. The big fountain sounds refreshing and the ice-cream sellers are kept busy. There is a permanent boules lane here, and in the summer music of various kinds is performed on the stage next to it. In the wintertime you can skate to music on the skating rink.

Further along in the park there is a statue of Karl XII. He is known as the great warrior King of Sweden and he lived between 1697 and 1718. Still today the Swedish government starts every year with a parade and the soldiers are dressed in the same type of yellow moose-skin trousers.

Only a few blocks north of Kungstädgården is Nybroplan, with the Royal Dramatic Theatre in white and gold. It has many stages with many different plays. At the water's edge, many white boats are waiting to take you out into the archipelago of Stockholm. This is another wonderful experience to try.

We hope you have enjoyed your city walk in Stockholm. Nearby is the subway station Östermalmstorg from where the train will take you to your home.

Buttericks is a tourist attraction. Here you can find everything you need to pull off practical jokes. False hands, fake sugarcubes and the like. There is also stuff for fancy dress parties, like wigs, masks, make-up, fangs, and fake blood. The biggest queue of wannabe vampires can be found here on the day before Halloween.

This indoor market is located in the basement of the movie theatre Filmstaden Sergel. A visit to this place is like taking a culinary trip around the world. Fish, meat, cheese, coffee, tea, bread, spices, flowers, exotic specialties and delicacies—you will find it all here at Hötorgshallen. There is also an outdoor market, which offers a variety of fruits and vegetables, all at very reasonable prices. The most fun part of this shopping experience though, is the haggling!
