Lots of various items from shampoos to towels to kitchenware, cheap. A lot of it looks cheap too. But if you are on vacation and need something that you will leave here, this is probably a good place to get it.

Åhléns City is a large department store in the city centre of Stockholm from a large department…read morestore chain as Åhléns has locations in almost every city in Sweden to the point they have 18 stores in its' capital, Stockholm alone and Åhléns are also the fourth largest group of fashion retailers in Sweden. Unusual for a chain department store, it is notable enough to have its' own Wikipedia page on the Swedish website and it was sadly the sight of the terrorist attack on Stockholm in 2017 which means it is also blue-graded by the Stockholm City Museum, which corresponds to the requirements for building memories in the Cultural Heritage Act. The store is pretty large - it is actually the largest in the Åhléns brand to the point this store alone makes up 20% of the company's revenue according to reports and it is a pretty decent store mainly for fashion and home - there isn't a great deal of food and drink here but there is a Joe's Juice Bar inside the department store, which seems to be common at many Åhléns locations including ones located in shopping malls around Stockholm County. The selection of beauty brands is much better than other department stores, especially other Åhléns locations. A pretty good store and a large department store, it might not be as impressive as NK nearby and lack a decent food selection but it is one of the two great department stores in the city centre of Stockholm and that surely warrants a four-star rating.

Kind of a hard store to figure out. The signs by the escalator are in Swedish so we got off where…read morethere were things we wanted to see. On an upper floor there are Swedish jigsaw puzzles and more upscale souvenirs but you have to roam to find them. On a lower floor where the T is, they have cheaper cosmetics including a Swedish brand, Isadora which is supposed to be good. There is an Apotek (pharmacy) on that same floor. One floor below that is a grocery, Hemkoft, which is quite large and pretty reasonably priced and good quality. I found it enjoyable just walking around and seeing products that are different than what you would find in a Macy's in the U.S..

I can't count how many times I've glanced at this place from the bus window, and thought, 'Meh'…read more For some reason I figured it was overpriced - one of those Södermalm 'vintage' shops which sell grandma's clothes after adding a few zeros to the price tag. Finally I decided that was a silly assumption and that I should check it out. And boy am I glad I did! When I first walked in I thought the shop was teeny tiny, but I turns out it's just made up of several different rooms. Pros: Not crowded Nice music Lots of gym shoes, cheap and in good condition Vintage brand name items No used H&M or Lindex crap like many second-hand stores Great selection of long fancy gowns Low prices Cons: I didn't actually find anything I wanted to buy. Shop is poorly organized When I say poorly organized, I mean that there is no logic in where things are placed. However, it is still very tidy and clean, with nothing lying around out of place. It's not much of a complaint really, it just means you have to poke around a bit more. BUT, I did decide that this place gets the trophy for Best Place to Prepare for a Costume Party. If you ever have a themed party - 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s - then skip Beyond Retro and come here instead. Sure, you can find everything at Beyond Retro, but it will cost you 400 SEK or more, whereas here prices are more towards 150 SEK. I noticed tons of sparkly tops, long gowns, drop-waist dresses, denim galore, bags, shoes, and more. Humana obviously selects their items somehow, as it's not full of last season's H&M like most second-hand stores. If you come here you do know that you will be finding worthwhile items.

It's a thrift store that's definitely been curated. The inventory isn't a mixed bag, but skewed…read moretowards a young hipstery crowd. It reminded me of the old shops on Haight Ashbury back in the 90s, a little grunge and anti-establishment. The prices weren't outrageous, but I didn't buy anything as I felt like I probably could find these back in San Francisco. I went during a weekday afternoon, so there were only teenagers around and it did feel a little Urban Outfitters-esque.

Saw this was a highly rated massage place in Stockholm. Made an appointment first thing our plane…read morelanded since I've had tension and tightness in my body. This massage made me feel INCREDIBLE after. I can raise my arms without feeling like i was rusty. I can lift my shoulders without struggling to get through the tightness. Best thing I've ever done. Best part is I have 5-6 more days of traveling and this will help me carry a backpack on my back without any more pain. The ladies were very accommodating and nice. I would 10000% recommend coming by in the beginning of your trip so you can feel great for the rest of your time/day.

We went looking for a massage place and found this one via reviews and Google. I was a bit…read moreapprehensive the same way I always am when we get a massage at some random place. But there was nothing to worry about. The women here speak good English, which is very helpful when booking. My husband and I were shown to neighboring beds. The room was warm but not hot. The ladies didn't really give us great instructions, so after a lot of laughter and giggling about which blanket goes where, we got it all figured out and started the massage. If you've never had Thai massage before, it's kind of like this petite Asian woman is trying to literally separate the fibers of your muscles by pulling your muscles in opposite directions. But afterward, you feel like 10 million bucks. This massage did use oil (some Thai massages don't) and so it was kind of like a hybrid Thai/deep tissue massage. I felt fabulous afterwards. The prices in general for massages in this part of the world are pretty cheap compared to what we pay in the USA so I was happy to pay and would absolutely come back.

Though, I always tend to buy rice wine (I can't find rice wine--xiaxing wine--anywhere else), miso, and specific noodles here. In terms of vegetables, if you're willing to look around, check Oriental Supermarket beforehand. Veggie prices are often about the same, but sometimes one store seems to have a fresher stock. A lot of the products are sort of dusty, so I usually check the expiration/package date on sauces just to make sure. So far, I haven't come across anything that's out of date.

Every time I searched for something in this store, I successfully found it and paid a reasonable price for it. The store also has discounts as low as 3kr! Even if there is only one cash register, the business flows quickly. The staff know their stuff! (Excuse the pun) They do their job and don't spend hours chatting to the customers, as some cashiers do. I recommend this store stongly to anyone.
