SoFo District and Götgatan Shopping Street, Stockholm

SoFo or South of Folkungagatan is the hip area in Södermalm where you will find fashionable second-hand clothing stores, nicely designed cafés, interesting antique shops, popular designer stores and loads of other cool things! 

To start: Get off at Slussen on the green line of the Metro and walk all the way to Gulmarsplan via Götgatan (main street) to see all the local and imported shops. Götgatan, which happens to be one of the longest streets in Stockholm, is a favorite amongst tourists as it has both popular and independent brands, cafés and restaurants. If you turn right on one of the side streets like Skånegatan you will instantly have a feel of the SoFo vibe. 

This place is also within walking distance of T-Centralen (Central Station) and Drottninggatan (the popular shopping street). Actually, every place downtown is within walking distance. I think this is the better option when you have a lot time in your hands as it lets you enjoy the beautiful view.
