The Travel Chronicles:
48 Hours in Stockholm
A cosmopolitan capital, Stockholm has a heritage rich in art , design and renowned culinary scene. Add to that an architectural legacy that encompasses old-world European charm as well as the slick, 21st-century modernism that’s become a hallmark of Scandinavian design and it’s little wonder that it has become a favourite destination for us here at Luca Faloni.
Discover our store at Sturegallerian, and list of some of our top local haunts to check out, should you find yourself in town for a long weekend.

Where to stay
Ett Hem
‘A Home’ in Swedish, it is one of the most unique places to stay. The owner, Jeanette Mix, wanted it to feel less like an establishment and more of an atmosphere you’d only experience when staying with a close friend. The townhouse hotel, which dates from 1910 only has 12 rooms, each with its own personality and selection of handmade furniture, antiques and art. You’re encouraged to linger in the public rooms that include a library, living room and a conservatory, where an impressive smorgasbord is served each morning for breakfast. The only downside however, is that checkout hour always comes too soon.

Prinsen
A grand dame of the Stockholm dining scene, Prinsen has been serving up traditional Nordic fare with a touch of French flair to discerning clientele since 1897. The wood-paneled interior, vintage photographs and Edwardian furnishings preserve its little-changed, Belle Époque feel and makes it a refreshing alternative to the city’s slick, minimalist venues if your taste in interiors – and food – errs more on the traditional side. For those brave enough, sampling the restaurant’s selection of Aquavit – Sweden’s answer to schnapps – is a must, but be warned, it packs quite a punch.

The Bar
Spesso
Discover the Milanese style bar with an abundant garden at a unique rooftop location. Located on the 16th floor surrounded by the nearby Hötorgskraparna and right next to the iconic NK clock with a fantastic terrace and 360-degree panoramic view of Stockholm. Overlooking the greenery and water, Spesso is the perfect spot for enjoying well-crafted signature cocktails, small dishes and local DJs playing daily.

Luca Faloni - Island Adventures
The Bar: Hemlin
One of Stockholm’s leading high-altitude drinking dens, this bar and grill can be found on the 26th floor of a 1960s former office tower in the city’s ultra-hip Södermalm district, so you definitely need a head for heights. For those willing to make the journey skywards, the reward is in the 360-degree view of the city scape, where everything from Stockholm’s green spaces to elegant church spires and the Ericsson Globe – the world’s largest spherical building – can be viewed in full panoramic glory. Cocktails are the speciality here and the menu ranges from potent classics to inventive contemporary libations. We’d suggest heading up at cocktail hour to watch the sunset over the city, or if you’re a night owl, for a post-dinner night cap (or two).

Luca Faloni - Island Adventures
- Stockholm is the gateway to the second largest archipelago in the Baltic sea, which extends 37 miles to the east of the city and is made up of more than 30,000 islands. Some of those closer to the city are ideal to escape to if you’re in search of your own Swedish idyll. A regular commuter ferry from Stockholm takes you to Fjäderholmarna Island in 20 minutes, which has an abundance of artists’ studios, so there’s plenty of handcrafted goods on offer, from art to ceramics and glass. A little further out is the fairy tale-like island of Vaxön, with its 16th-century island fortress and quaint winding streets in the main town of Vaxholm, it’s a history buff’s dream. If you’re a keen swimmer, then a trip to Grinda Island should be on the agenda. It’s popular with Stockholmers seeking sun and sea in the summer months and the local authority limits development to ensure it remains unspoilt. Whatever your interests, with so many islands to choose from, you certainly won’t be hard up for options.
