The modern downtown just north — the central station, the big department stores and Drottninggatan's shopping, and the park square of Kungsträdgården. The most convenient base for transport and shops; busy, businesslike and less pretty than the islands, but everything is on your doorstep.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 11.Kungsträdgården — The city's beloved central park square — cherry blossom in spring, open-air concerts and cafés in summer, an ice rink in winter, always something on. The green living room of downtown Stockholm; a good place to sit, people-watch and take the city's pulse.
- 12.Swedish meatballs & fika — The national plate done right — köttbullar with lingonberry, cream sauce and mash — followed by the sacred Swedish fika: a coffee and a cardamom or cinnamon bun. Do both properly at an old-school café; cheap, cosy comfort in an expensive city.
- 14.Drottninggatan — Downtown's long pedestrian shopping spine, running north from the old town past department stores, buskers and cafés. Not the prettiest street in town, but the everyday pulse of shopping Stockholm, and a handy walk that links the centre to the islands.
