This is a perfect spot if you want to do something different for a change. Their generous opening hours turn this place to a great spot to visit even on a Friday evening.

Klättercentret in Telefonplan is a centre for indoor climbing. It’s a big place with 14 meter walls and a really cool place for bouldering which reminds you of caves. Klättercenter have been closed for a couple of months due to a fire. Now everything is built up again with lots of new bouldering “puzzles”. Check out their homepage for accurate opening hours.

My friend and I are totally hooked on bouldering, which is climbing but not as high and without a rope. Ask climbers around you how to start and off you go! All you really need for bouldering is climbing shoes, you can borrow shoes here for 40 kr. Come on a weekday before 16:00, it’s cheaper and less people.

If you want to climb in the traditional way you have to bring along a friend that has a “green card”. Best thing is if you take a course in climbing and get a green card yourself so you both can climb.

They have a small but nice café where you can sit and watch people climbing above you, a very cool feeling but also, in my opinion, scary as hell. I prefer bouldering which is closer to ground…

My favourite Myrorna store is at Skärholmen (get off at Skärholmen subway station, it’s on the other side of Skärholmen Centrum.) They have the biggest range of goods here, you will surely find something you like. They get new items everyday, which makes it easy to find unique and rare stuff. The only bad thing is that they’re closed on sundays.

The store is very large with furniture, bags, clothes, cds, books, kitchen ware, decorative gadgets and they also have a big department for children with toys and clothes. You can easily wonder around for hours…

Myrorna is a chain of stores, 8 in Stockholm and more all over Sweden. All surpluses are given away to The Salvation Army and the employees are often there for vocational training.

If you’re a student you get 10% off!

The building that now hosts landet, used to be a post office. Even though people go there nowadays to grab a mushroom soup with pesto or a beer instead of a package, the concept is pretty much the same. And it’s not only the students from konstfack and people living and working in the area that come here. Landet manages to have followers from all over town, something that not many places in the Stockholm surroundings can brag about.

This spot is mainly divided in a restaurant and a bar, and both of them are extremely popular. In the restaurant, one can get excellent crossover food with clear Swedish influences and the personnel working here is both professional as well as very kind.

In the club arena there’s a lot going on. From Wednesday to Saturday there are many fun live concerts and DJ gigs that probably make Landet among the best places outside town for a beer…and among the best in all Stockholm too!

The building that used to be a colour factory Färgfabriken is now a leading European art centre. Their concept is contemporary laboratory, architecture, arts and an interest in social processes. Färgfabriken organises regular arts exhibitions, publications and workshops as well as collaborations with freestanding curators.

For coffee and cake or pancake brunch, visit the Café, which is run by neighbouring Restaurant Landet. Parties and clubs are also part of Färgfabriken’s repertoire though not on a regular basis, but check out their website for more info.

If you’re into a more alternative club scene, want to be the first one to spot new bands or simply love surrounding yourself with heavy clouds of cigarette smoke. Pluto offers a welcome break from the clean and somewhat sterile club scene of Stockholm.

Like many of the new underground clubs of this kind, you’ll find Pluto a little bit outside of the centre, in Trekanten, only a short walk from Liljeholmen, or a few stops with the tram.

Canned beer and wine is sold at the bar but that’s about it, so don’t go here if you’re desperate for food or snacks. Since this is a member club you need to register membership on their website, or pay a fee on your first visit.
