Our new microguides series is inspired by the slow travel movement, encouraging travellers to relax their pace and take a deep dive into one particular neighbourhood in a well-loved city. Rather than a whirlwind itinerary which aims to hit up every must-see attraction, these compact, close-up guides encourage you to zone in, take your time and truly explore like a local.
Independent boutiques, artsy corners and a prominent cafe culture are just some of the big draws in Sodermalm, Stockholm’s hipster quarter. Throw in an eclectic nightlife scene and on-trend restaurants opening regularly, and you have the ideal base for leisure time after your sightseeing. (It’s also where you’ll find cheaper, character-packed hotels than the city centre’s grand dames.)
