Hallongrottan
Adding weight to Hornstull’s counter-culture rep, this queer-centric bookshop boasts an eclectic mix of gay and feminist titles, queer-friendly kids books, trashy zombie flicks and free hallongrottan (raspberry tartlets). In-store cultural gigs range from screenings of Pink Flamingos to readings by scribes like Sarah Waters and Dennis Cooper – check the website for details.

Rönnells Antikvariat

Hedengrens
This surprisingly capacious bookstore inside Sturegallerian has possibly Stockholm’s largest selection of books in English; go downstairs and try not to get dizzy browsing the shelves in the store’s circular layout.
