Hammarbytoppen Stockholm
From landfill to ski hill
Don't cancel this year's skiing holiday in the Alps in favor of this urban ski resort. But if you happen to be in Stockholm and are in the mood for some downhill skiing, Hammarbytoppen could be the place to go.
At 93.5 meters above sea level it's a hill created by thousands of tons of earth debris that had to be moved somewhere when excavating the sites for the iconic sports arena Globen and later from nearby Hammarby in order to build Hammarby Sjöstad.
There are four slopes, offering green, blue, red and black levels of difficulty where the longest one will take you 400 meters from top to bottom. Everyone knows it by the name Hammarbybacken which is also the name promoted by Ski Star, the company that runs the lifts and snow guns. But the official name is Hammarbytoppen. Feeding the wrong name into Google Maps could instead take you to a road with this name, some 1.8 km off target.
Safe skiing, there's zero chance of an avalanche!

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.

Bird Söder
Chicken & Chicken
Bird Restaurant Söder is a cozy and contemporary eatery serving just chicken dishes. And if you love wings and spicy dishes, you have to come here.

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.

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.

Midsummer
The most important summer celebration
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.

Unique experience in Lärkstaden
"Ett Hem" in Stockholm is a unique hotel with a restaurant with a very private feel -- the restaurant isn't like any other restaurant I've eaten at...
