citylikeyou — Stockholm / Andrea Andersson

I moved to Stockholm about one year ago when I started studying Visual Communication at Beckmans College of Design. After living in super friendly Malmö for three years I feared it would be hard to settle in. It wasn’t. Starting in a new school is probably the best way of getting to know people. Especially when it is a small and intense one like Beckmans. Profile picture by Hilda Grahnat.

Stockholm / Restaurant

The best late night snack in Stockholm. Together with your last beer, order the french fries with bearnaise at the bar and share it with your friends. Junk food gone deluxe.

Stockholm / Market

A huge flee market that occures two times a year, once in spring the other in the fall. Take the subway to Solna centrum and take the 3 min walk to the big sports arena where the fleemarket is held. There is lots of retro and vintage and a good potential of finding bargains.

Stockholm / Park

In the summer this is a haven in the middle of the city. It is a public garden where I like to go and relax in the grass under a blooming tree. There is also a cafe and a shop here. Before you leave you should buy a bouqee of flowers (you pick yourself in the garden!).

Stockholm / Place

When Stockholm is cold and the plants I have at home are dying I like to visit the greenhouse at Bergianska. It's such a beautiful place.

Stockholm / Music Venue

During the summer Trädgården is the place to be if your out clubbing. It has a great festival atmosphere. The chance of you getting seperated from your friends is immidiate but you will meet new ones. I have a love-hate relationship with this place, watch out for the massive que and the ill willing pointers.

Stockholm / Photographer

Living in stockholm. I started my career by assisting many of Swedens top photographers. In the beginning I was intrigued by fashion but over the years my course has changed towards a new more personal photography, holding a slower, more thoughtfull expression. I try to tell subtle stories that has a personal connection. My objects are landscapes, architecture and environmental portraits, often with a calm melancholy where the human influence on our surrounding is an important subject. I currently work for magazines and advertising clients along with my personal projects.
