Stockholm Suggestions??

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I'll be in and around Stockholm for three weeks next month and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? I'll be staying with my girlfriend and her family and they all grew up there and that should cover the normal tourist things, so I'm mainly looking cool music and (English) book stores...

Hope you enjoy Lucien! MB gave you a first good option! :wink:
The Swedish HL-ers hopefully will answer your question.

Hehe, sadly I don't think I'll be making my way down to Holland this time.

And yes OM, this article has made me look forward to Stockholm even more.

The best part of town for music & books (and everything else) is by far "Södermalm". Music store "Pet Sounds" on Skånegatan is well worth a visit. Then walk across the street to "Pet sounds Bar" for a beer...

Sadly, if I'm not mistaking, "Little shop of Records" is no more.

If there's anything else you want to know, just ask.

If your girlfriend can read swedish you can use this "Everyting about Stockholm" website to find some decent record stores.

Otherwise I'll have to agree with flakk13, södermalm is by far the best area for music and such.

Thanks. Yeah, my girlfriend is Swedish, and a native Stockholmer, but she hasn't lived there properly for 9 years now so I'm looking for places she may not know of. I'm sure there are a few on that site. :notworthy: :notworthy:
