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.

If you’re after books on Sweden and Swedish culture, it’s hard to beat this place. Part of the Swedish Institute, you’ll find everything from luscious Bruno Mathsson design books to gripping crime fiction by Henning Mankell. Books come in all major languages.

Rönnells Antikvariat
From vintage Astrid Lindgren books to dusty 19th-century travel guides, the 100,000-strong collection of books here, many in English, make this one of the meatiest secondhand bookshops in town. Forage through the sales rack for a new dog-eared friend.

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.
