With Carl Waldekranz during the lunch at the Oaxen Slip, a restaurant housed in a refurbished shed at a boatyard, inspired by marine industries.
Oaxen Slip An interpretation of Nordic bistro food
Welcome to Oaxen Krog & Slip – Oaxen Krog, Bistro Slip, Prince Van Orangiën & Oaxen Club room.
One of the top 50 restaurants in the world, located out on Djurgården island, where its combination of seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and modern twists on classic Swedish cuisine have become more popular than ever. Light floods the room and boats hang from the girders in a nod to the local shipbuilding industry. The food is wholesome and heartening and features plenty of seafood - whole fish dishes are a speciality.

Charming, personal mix of clothes, shoes, accessories, jewelry, vintage items, design, and knickknacks.
This Södermalm store sells everything from vintage posters and furniture to fashion finds from local Swedish brands such as Uniforms for the Dedicated. From wandering around their store, though, you can clearly tell it’s not about the brands, it’s about the specific products — all meticulously selected and curated because they’re the best of the best. Stores also on Södermannagatan, Södermalm and Gamla Brogatan in the city centre.

Ett Hem Stockholm, Sweden - more personal than the luxury hotel.
Swedish design is famous for its simplicity and minimalism. At „ETT HEM“ you can expect to discover an endless stream of designer pieces including carefully curated vintage pieces to custom-made furniture.
One of the best parts about Stockholm is to actually leave the rush of the big city. Just a few minutes away from the city of Stockholm, the archipelago begins with nearly 30,000 islands, islets and rocks - from Grisslehamn to Landsort. Book an Airbnb in the Archipelago and explore uninhabited islets as well as islands with the typical Swedish nature and ancient villages where large houses and small cottages stand side by side.
Getting there: Waxholmsbolaget runs the regular public transport boats and operates daily services to hundreds of destinations in the Stockholm archipelago.
