Ultimate Stockholm food experience

From the most delicious cinnamon buns to unmissable meatballs, discover Stockholm’s rich food culture while exploring the cobbled streets of Vasastan

How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

Discover some of the city’s best-loved dishes, from Baltic herring served with a variety of sides like creamy mash potato and lingonberries, to more surprising favorites, like kebab pizza. As an alternative to meatballs, you could try isterband korv, a lightly smoked, sour pork sausage.

And as every Stockholmare knows, fika is a must, and your host will share with you how this ritual of slowing down with coffee and cake is truly part of the culture. You could try arraksbollar, a treat of liquor-soaked cake that’s rolled in chocolate sprinkles.

But if beer sounds more your style than coffee, your host will have a few trendy micro-breweries and gastro-pubs up their sleeve, where you can taste local brews along with a real smörgåsbord of nibbles!

Loved the historical and informational history of Stockholm, the layout of the city and “old town”, the interesting facts about the street names and areas of the old town being Norsk and German Gods. The food was fantastic and we loved the personal attention from Sofia and the shop owners!
