Run by a bunch of sound people, VILLA has some great contemporary and affordable art and is always worth a visit.

A bay on Mälaren with nice hiking routes, bathing and forest. One of my favourite spots on Stockholm.

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.

A beautiful island far out in Stockholm archipelago where you can recover from the hectic city life. Fill yourself with new inspiration from the nature and the rich cultural history the island offers. In 1908 Bullerö was bought by the painter Bruno Liljefors and became his private summer retreat and studio. He regularly invited his famous friends for week-long food-and-drink-orgies and hunting treks. Historians say that it was in fact these party trips that popularized the archipelago as the summer destination for Stockholm’s it-crowd; everybody who was anybody wanted to host bacchanalian parties on a private island of their own. If you don't own your own boat, you can catch a ferry and stay in one of the cottage houses that you can rent.

Great area on the shore of Kungsholmen in Stockholm, just a couple of stops from the city centre on the tube . Ideal for a swim or summer (or winter for that matter) barbecue with friends.
