Department Store shopping in Sweden

  1. A

    Åhléns

    Looking better than ever after a revamp, this is the main branch of Sweden’s best-known department store. All the standards are here from books, electronics and homewares to cosmetics and fashion, including the store’s own very wearable label. Basement supermarket Hemköp sells ready-made vegetarian foods, while the 4th floor is home to a dreamy day spa.

    PUB

    Until recently, historic department store PUB was best known as the former workplace of Greta Garbo. A major revamp has since turned it into Stockholm’s hottest new fashion and lifestyle hub. Bag yourself fresh Nordic labels like Stray Boys, House of Dagmar and Baum & Pferdgarten, refuel at the slinky cafe-bar or check out the edgy art space.

    NK

    A Scandinavian Selfridges of sorts, this sleek retail palace boasts over 110 departments, amazing pastries in the basement food hall and a decent selection of English-language books. It’s also infamous as the place where foreign minister Anna Lindh was murdered in 2003.
