From the saffron-coloured buildings and cobblestone-covered streets, to the sleek modern bars and trendy restaurants, Stockholm is a city of history, style and impeccable design. In a compact, light paperback format perfect for slipping into your back pocket, Stockholm Pocket Precincts is your curated guide to the city’s most interesting cultural, shopping, eating and drinking experiences.

Divided into separate precincts, each section lists the best shops, restaurants, bars and sights to see in the area. The precincts the guide covers are Gamla Stan & Riddarholmen, Norrmalm & Skeppsholmen, Djurgården, Södermalm, Hornstull & Långholmen, Östermalm, Vasastan, Ladugårdsgärdet, and Kungsholmen. Go beyond the city’s glittering surface to underground cafes and basement dance clubs, tiny vintage boutiques tucked inside historic buildings, epic fashion and the perfect cafés for fika (the daily coffee break).

Also included is a selection of 'field trips' to encourage you to explore outside the city, including nearby islands like Björkö (home to the viking city of Birka), as well as the popular university city of Uppsala.

Becky Ohlsen first visited Stockholm as a toddler, on a trip to meet her maternal grandparents. Later, as a teen, she mastered enough of the language and geography to make an important daily pilgrimage to the local snack kiosk for chocolate. Becky will still go out of her way for a bar of Marabou mjölk choklad (milk chocolate), but several periods of living in Stockholm over the years have expanded her tastes and  interests. These days, she never misses a chance to revisit her favourite paintings at the Modern Art museum, tuck into a bowl of fish stew in the basement of Hötorgshallen food court, stop for a fika (coffee break) in an old-fashioned cafe, play some pinball in an underground billiards hall, or walk along the city’s many bridges and canals.

Becky has researched and written about Stockholm for Lonely Planet since 2004; she has written about family travel in Sweden for the  Independent, and landscape as a character in Swedish literature for The Bear Deluxe. She also writes about hiking and camping in the Pacific North-west. When she’s not travelling for work, Becky rides motorcycles with the Sang-Froid Riding Club in Portland, Oregon.
