Ostermalms Saluhall

Östermalm’s Saluhall has been ranked as the 7th best food hall in the world. For 137 years, it has been an oasis for gastronomes, gourmets, and everyone who loves good food. Here we explore Sweden's roots as a nation of hunters and gatherers. Here you will sample traditional game meats such as moose, reindeer and bear. As Sweden gradually became an agricultural society, preserving food through the long Nordic winters became essential. One solution was cheese-making, and along the way you will taste a selection of distinctive Swedish cheeses.

Stockholm's metro is often called "the world's longest art gallery", and as we travel between food stops you will discover some of its most spectacular stations. Sweden follows a long-standing tradition of dedicating a portion of public building budgets to art, helping make creativity a visible part of everyday life. Östermalmstorg station was decorated by artist Siri Derkert in 1965 and is one of Stockholm's most historically significant metro stations. The engravings in the concrete celebrate peace, equality, environmental awareness and women's rights. Look closely and you will find names, symbols and messages carved directly into the station walls. It was one of the first examples of Stockholm's vision of turning the metro into a public art gallery.
