Augustendals 4H Farm Stockholm
Fun for the kids
Augustendals 4H farm is a great option for families travelling with kids. It is an international youth organisation, and the Hs stands for head, heart, hand and health.
Whenever I have had visitors who bring their kids, Augustendals 4H farm has been a hit. The organisation is run by volunteers, and their farm has horses, goats, cats, rabbits and hens. If you want to visit the stables, guided tours are offered for groups (at a price), but the animals are out during the daytime and can be admired and petted without making any reservations or paying fees during that time. Bear in mind that it is not allowed to feed the animals. Augustendals 4H farm offers different courses about handling animals, and in the summer, there is a café that is open on weekdays and serves homemade buns, coffee, tea and more. There is a grilling spot that can be used by the public, and the café sells sausages for grilling. However, you will need to bring your own charcoal for grilling.
The setting is stunning, next to Huvudsta Castle and the Lake of Ulvsunda. Horse carriage rides in this tranquil and beautiful area can be booked in advance. There is a playground next to the farm and at the nearby beach there is a variety of wild ducks and swans.
It is easy to get there; take the subway to Västra skogen (blue line 6 minutes heading north from the Central station) and walk towards the water for about 10 minutes.

Pat's Place
Thai Tapas
I can guarantee the authenticity of flavours and genuine spiced food. It is really nice being at Pat's, sharing food, having a few beers and chilling.

Pita i Parken
Kebabs for all tastes!
"Pita i Parken" in Stockholm has changed my whole opinion about pita-bread-based meals. My go-to order is the Åsen pita w/ chicken. Love the terrace, too.

Demi Mat & Bar
Cozy local restaurant
Demi serves a variety of food items and the menu changes regularly. Sobrasada, a hot and spicy Spanish sausage is what I eat almost every time I visit.

Schnitzel and Beer
Here I always struggle to choose between the Praguer and Schnitzel Feldkurat Katz. When it comes to beer, I go for Prímator or the Pilsner Urquell.

Midsummer is HUGE in Sweden, and people from Stockholm usually spend June 21st in their country houses. If you're around, go to open-air museum Skansen.

Två Små Svin
Smørrebrød and schnapps
"Två Små Svin" ("Two Little Pigs") in Stockholm is a restaurant that will be worth that little effort of going a bit outside the city center.
