Last month my boyfriend and I visited Stockholm. We stayed in a hostel which was actually a boat on the river between Sodermalm and Gamla Stan. Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, I absolutely loved it. It's a bit expensive to eat and drink, but the clothes shops were amazing and quite reasonable. I got lots of stuff in Monki, although of course you can now order online! I also got some new glasses, as I noticed that everyone in Stockholm wore great glasses and great shoes!
The architecture in Stocholm is beautiful and ranges from winding medieval streets to immense art noveau buildings. Everything seemed cleaned against the clear skies and fresh, sea air!
Traditional crafts of felting and using traditional materials such as wool and reindeer skins never seemed far away from the urban environment. I noticed a lot of interior decor shops which seemed to specialise in all kinds of lighting; in a country where it is dark for months, this makes sense. I plan to decorate my flat with lots of lighting this winter to create a cosy atmosphere in the long, bleak evenings!
Food was expensive, so we snacked on coffee and cinnamon buns during the day, saving our money and appetite for an evening meal.
I cannot describe how excited I was to shop in Monki, in Sodermalm, which is the coolest district in Stockholm!
