If you’re into the big guns of contemporary art, head to Moderna Museet. This vast gallery was the first in Sweden to break the works of Warhol and holds an impressive selection of heavyweight works today.

If you’d prefer to see something a little more ‘real’, The Manual recommends Candyland. Located in Södermalm, home to many local artists and initiatives, this independent gallery exhibits abstract works from exciting international artists.

SHOP

FRÅN Ö TILL A. This brand new three-storey concept store offers an achingly cool bevy of designers including domestic faves Acne and 5PREVIEW and international luxe street labels Surface to Air and Common. The post-industrial space also offers gourmet coffee and a selection of design books and vintage clothing. Naturally.

Nitty Gritty, Stockholm

Also, don’t miss Nitty Gritty on Krukmakargatan. This clinically curated boutique has been a longstanding favourite for quality menswear in Stockholm. Brands include Levi’s Vintage, Stone Island and Engineered Garments.

EAT & DRINK

Located within concept store and art space Snickerbacken 7, Kaffeverket is loved by locals and visiting foodies for its infamous open sandwiches served on rye. We recommend the prawn and horseradish mayo with an unexpected edition of a boiled egg (to die for, FYI).

Gastrologik, Stockholm

For a dinner to remember, check out Gastrologik. This classy eatery is best known for the unbeatable beef they serve- interestingly, the preference is for older female cows, selected, slaughtered and butchered by meat maniac Christian Bauer in Älmhult. Owners Jacob and Anton are super particular about their produce, and the proof is in the pudding.

Some say Akkurat in Hornsgatan is one of the finest malt bars in the world. We aren’t prepared to argue with that. Cotch at the bar with the locals or grab a table with your fellow travellers and sample some of the awesome malts and home brews. A pint of Cantillon Kriek brew is our personal favorite…

3 duct tape camping hacks: Why it should always be in your hiking or camping kit
Stick to duct tape while camping — here's how
Closeup of two friends setting up a tent in the woods.

One of the most useful scenarios for duct tape is out in the wilderness, but it can be tricky to figure out how to store it. One of my go-to ways is to simply wrap several feet of duct tape around an old credit card or a sturdy piece of cardboard. I've also seen people wrap duct tape around their water bottles, but that's never appealed to me since it can be a bit of a mess to clean. Regardless of how you do it, taking some duct tape with you might just make or break your next camping or hiking trip. Here's how.
3 uses for duct tape while out in the wilderness

Patch repairs with duct tape
Sleeping pads pop and nylon tears. We've all been there, and duct tape can save the day! It's great to have duct tape on hand to patch a hole or close a gap in my tent. If you happen to accidentally tear your sleeping bag, a patch of duct tape will get you through it. Reinforce broken straps, seams, zippers, or even sole separation in your shoes and you'll make it home all right.
Duct tape in first aid
When thinking about duct tape, first aid might not always come to mind. However, duct tape is great in a jiffy for splint support if you or someone in your party ends up breaking or spraining something. With a piece of clean cloth or gauze, you can create a makeshift bandage in an emergency. You can also use a small square as blister protection if your shoes start rubbing your feet raw.
Using duct tape as an organization tool
While masking tape might work a bit better in this case, duct tape can still be used to label and tag gear or mark items. That said, nothing is better than duct tape if you want to seal an open liquid container. Duct tape can also be used to keep loose cords, tent poles, or stakes bundled together in a pinch.
