Fantastic and underrated modern art museum/ gallery on Djurgarden (past the huge tourist destination, Vasa Museum). Every year it hosts about four exhibitions of contemporary and modern art.

We were there for an exhibition of Alberto Giacometti and it was amazing to see 'Walking Man 1' in full height. His drawing and paintings were an absolute revelation and it was a great way of spending the afternoon.

A former private house which is now the home of a collection of paintings, prints and sculpture of the former owner, Ernest Thiel, an art collector of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Swedish government purchased the house and the collection in 1924. The gallery houses a wonderful range of work, especially that of Edvard Munch, but also Carl Larsson, Vuillard and Lautrec. It retains the atmosphere of an individual's own home, with the owner's collection still in place. Also great bar/cafeteria and garden.

Sjotullsbacken 6-8, S-115 25 Stockholm. On Djurgarden, just outside Stockholm, reachable by No. 69 bus from the city centre. Twenty minute ride.

This restaurant in Gamla Stan serves up a superb range of traditional Swedish food.

In winter there is an ice gallery right opposite where you can pop in for a shot of vodka.

This ugly building next to the Central Station is actually quite vibrant. There is a gallery, library, cafe, theatre and shops. My favourite area is the Lava Lounge where you can go to relax and enjoy whatever event has
been arranged.
