July

OUT OF TOWN

July is in full swing, and with vacation mode officially switched on, this week’s theme is, naturally, Out of Town. Because if you don’t have a country house to escape to, you can at least treat yourself to a little trip beyond the city center. So, without further ado, here’s a lineup of true suburban gems.

1. BIO ASPEN

This little spot is tucked away in Aspudden, a southern suburb of Stockholm, and it’s exactly the kind of place you wish you had around the corner. Part cinema, part stage, part bistro and bar – Bio Aspen is a celebration of everything fun in life. With a mix of both blockbusters, classics, hidden film treasures, concerts and exhibitions there’s always something exciting going on here. After a short summer break, Bio Aspen reopens on July 11 and will be running all summer long.

2. BAR MONTAN

If you’re not quite ready to venture too far from the city, Slakthusområdet (which is like the Stockholm version to Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District) is a perfect place. This area is packed with great restaurants, but with the city a little emptier than usual, it’s the perfect time to hit up a place that’s usually fully booked. If you thought you were over small plates, you clearly haven’t been to Bar Montan yet. Go there. Order everything. Live your best life.

3. BAGERIET BAK

Located in the classic suburb of Hökarängen, (or “Hökis”), Bageriet BAK is a next-level bakery that doesn’t do anything halfway. Think world-class cinnamon buns, pizza, pub quizzes, jazz nights, and a staff so lovely you’ll want to stay all day. And, while you’re at it, don’t miss to check out their Instagram feed for a good laugh.

As if by chance, together with Two Face (yes, the same crew behind BAK), NOFO just dropped a dreamy summer drink. Check out the Golden Strawberry Xoda here.

4. HELLASGÅRDEN

If you on the other way around are craving a full-day escape and a true break from the concrete, Hellasgården is where to go. Nestled in the forest just outside the city, you’ll find outdoor gyms, scenic running trails, a dreamy lake for swimming, an ice cream stand, a sauna, a restaurant that’s surprisingly delicious… In other words: the ultimate Stockholm summer day trip.

One thing you might be missing if you’re sticking around town is, of course, a proper swim. With questionable water quality and a slightly claustrophobic vibe at the city beaches, we’ve rounded up our favorite swimming spots just outside the city: Can Be found here
