About Stockholm10
Stockholm10 guides you to the restaurants, cafés, shops and services Stockholmers rely on, from Gamla stan to the suburbs. Here is who we are and why.
A city built on water
Stockholm spreads across islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic, and its neighbourhoods have kept distinct characters. Gamla stan is medieval lanes and visitors; Södermalm is cafés, vintage shops and a creative crowd; Östermalm is stately apartments and the food hall on Östermalmstorg; Vasastan and Kungsholmen are where many families settle.
Beyond them lie Hammarby Sjöstad, Bromma, Hägersten and the suburbs strung along the tunnelbana lines, each with its own centrum, its own favourite pizzeria and its own trusted dentist.
Stockholm10 in brief
Stockholm10 is a guide to the city's best local businesses, put together by an independent editorial team. We publish rankings across fifteen categories, from food, culture and shopping to health, renovation trades, lawyers, finance, pet care and technology. Each ranking is limited to one type of business and one city, so every comparison is fair and every list is useful.
Written for
Residents who want a better dentist, a dependable electrician or a new favourite lunch spot. Newcomers who have arrived for work or study and are still learning how things are done here, from taking a queue ticket at the pharmacy to booking ahead almost everywhere. And visitors who would rather spend their few days in places Stockholmers actually use.
Our working method
Nothing stops at the inner islands: every category is researched out to the edges of the municipality. What counts is the standing a business has earned among the people who use it, year after year. We confirm opening hours, addresses and phone numbers, keep only the strongest candidates and come back to every ranking on a steady rhythm, so a closed business does not linger and a newcomer with a loyal following gets noticed. Messages from readers about changes are always followed up.
