No great European city is complete without a sweeping, sprawling food hall, and Stockholm's Östermalms Food Hall is one of the best. Come here for a quick bite or to stock up on specialty ingredients for the week.

This luxurious boutique hotel captures the essence of Stockholm. It's chic, remarkably comfortable, though ever-so homely. Boasting city views from every window, there really is no better place to wake up when in the city. 

With it's wooden panelled bar, tiled floor, Schmaltz is your typical bistro. Pickles, pâtes, charcuterie, cheeses, and smoked fish are put on a pedestal at this spot, and for all good reason. Share a few plates and naturally, a few glasses of the natural wine. All fance aside, the highlight for us has to be their grilled cheese broodjes come lunchtime: you'll have tasted nothing quite like it!
