Stockholm’s Sofo on Södermalm – so-called because it’s south of Folkungagatan – has gained a reputation as the trendiest, hippest part of the city. Here is where you’ll find plenty of beards, tattoos, Amish hats, and large black-framed specs – and here is also where you’ll find some of the coolest shops, café’s, clubs and bars.

Lisa Larsson

Lisa Larsson Second Hand
Lisa Larsson Second Hand
As expected, Sofo is crawling with vintage and one of the best places to find vintage clothing is at Lisa Larsson Second Hand, where the shop is literally packed to the rafters with top-quality finds. It’s slightly on the pricey side but the excellent selection is well worth shelling over a few extra kronor if need be.

Nytorget

Nytorget SoFo Stockholm
Nytorget – the heart of SoFo

This charming square is in many ways the heart of Sofo. The square is a park and playground, and all four sides are lined with shops, cafés, and restaurants. In the summer it’s lined with pavement seating and in the colder months, it’s cozy and cool.

Sofo Hotel

The name says it all: it’s the ultimate Sofo hotel, with excellent prices in a city not known for cheap stays. It’s small, charming, and known for excellent service. The best bit? It’s in the heart of Södermalm but tucked away on a quiet street so no problems with late-night revelers.

Katarina Kyrka is arguably the most beautiful church in Stockholm. Parts of the building date to the 18th century and the area has been home to churches since the 14th century. Concerts – both at lunch and in the evening – are often held here and the grounds are peace personified.
