Nestled in the heart of Stockholm lies a hidden gem that encapsulates the city's rich history and architectural charm - Bastugatan. This enchanting cobblestone street, with its steep incline, invites visitors on a journey through time and culture.

The buildings that line the street boast intricate facades adorned with ornate details that tell stories of the craftsmen who once labored here. You'll find old leaning houses with painted-on windows from the turn of 18/1900's.

Venture further, and you'll discover the enchanting side streets, Bellmangatan and Tavastgatan. Each exudes its own unique charm. Bellmangatan, named after the famous Swedish poet Carl Michael Bellman. Tavastgatan, on the other hand, takes you back in time with its preserved architecture and timeless ambiance.

Bastugatan, Bellmangatan, and Tavastgatan are more than just streets; they are living stories waiting to be explored. They remind us that even in the midst of a bustling modern city, the past can be found around every corner, ready to inspire those who seek it.

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.

Soldaten Svejk

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.
