Stockholm is widely recognised as dynamic, creative and contemporary and its demanding style and fashion-conscious inhabitants make sure it stays that way!
You'll find everything from shops selling traditional handicrafts to quirky boutiques and the latest fashion houses in areas like Södermalm and Östermalm.
If you're lost in the shopping jungle, Smart City Shopping (www.smartcityshopping.se) can take you out of the souvenir ghetto and tailor-make a shopping tour featuring the hippest designer shops in Stockholm - a service available to individuals as well as groups.
