SAS Crew Guide to Stockholm
Crew from Scandinavia’s leading airline, SAS, let you in on the best places to appreciate Sweden’s swinging capital
1. Park Life. Stockholm style.
Located just north of the city centre, Haga Park is a wonderful treasure. It is a popular place for Stockholmers to escape to. When the weather is nice it is the perfect place for a picnic, a leisurely stroll, riding a bike or jogging. It is a huge park that offers small cafes, a royal castle and an excellent location beside the water. There are also two great restaurants in the park, the classic Stallmästaregården and the contemporary Haga Forum.

2. Streets ahead
In the winter time I love the Old Town, with its ancient buildings, narrow streets, rich history, restaurants, shops and bars. But in the summer it becomes too touristy and expensive, so I head to Södermalm, a great neighbourhood that has lots to offer.
I love streets like Götgatan, Mosebacke Torg, Fjällgatan and Medborgarplatsen. It is a lively area with a huge selection of great shops and nice dining.

3. Follow the girl with the dragon tattoo
Fascinated by the books in the Stieg Larsson Millennium Trilogy, about the girl with the dragon tattoo? Take the guided tour and follow the trail of Lisbet Salander and Mikael Blomqvist.
The tour takes about two hours and will show you many great places in Stockholm that touch upon the characters in the books. Alternatively, you can buy a map and do the tour on your own.
The tours are available in English from June to September and tickets can be bought at the City Museum or Stockholm Tourist Centre.
