Stockholm Pocket Precincts

More about the book

From the saffron-coloured buildings and cobblestone-covered streets, to the sleek modern bars and trendy restaurants, Stockholm is a city of history, style and impeccable design. Stockholm Pocket Precincts takes you beyond the city's glittering surface - it's your guide to all the best places to eat, drink, shop and explore, from underground cafes and basement dance clubs to tiny vintage boutiques tucked inside historic buildings. Also included is a selection of 'field trips' to encourage you to explore outside the city, including the dazzling summer palace where the royal family lives, the windswept, dreamy islands of the Stockholm archipelago, and the lively, storied university city of Uppsala. Along the way, you'll discover the city's character, sense of humor, habits and principles. After all, fashion is fleeting, but fika (the daily coffee break) is forever.
