Traditional Sweet Dishes
Prinsesstårta
Prinsesstårta's signature green marzipan dome was added to disguise a generous stack of sponge, jam, custard and whipped cream, and the cake was popularized in the early 20th century by cookbook author Jenny Åkerström and her royal pupils.
Kanelbulle
The kanelbulle is so beloved that Swedes celebrate Kanelbullens dag on October 4, and its warm cardamom and cinnamon aroma defines the atmosphere of Swedish cafés.
Semla
The semla is a cardamom bun filled with almond paste and whipped cream, it was originally eaten floating in hot milk on Fettisdagen as a rich pre-Lenten treat.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Meatballs (Köttbullar)
Swedish köttbullar are smaller and more delicately spiced than many other meatballs, they are traditionally served with creamy gravy and lingonberry jam, and their recipe was shaped by 18th century culinary influences.
Gravadlax
Gravadlax, literally 'buried salmon', got its name from the old practice of curing salted fish by burying it in the ground, and today it is served thinly sliced with a mustard-dill sauce called hovmästarsås.
Räkmacka
The räkmacka is a theatrical open-faced sandwich piled high with hand-peeled cold-water shrimp, often topped with egg, lemon and mayo, and it is the quintessential Swedish café showpiece.
Traditional Beverages
Glögg
Glögg is a spiced, hot mulled wine studded with almonds and raisins, it was once drunk to stretch scarce spices through winter and is now a core part of Swedish Christmas markets.
Fika coffee
Fika is the Swedish ritual of a coffee break with cake or buns, it is treated as a social institution that slows the day and levels hierarchies at work and at home.
Aquavit
Aquavit is a caraway or dill flavored spirit served ice-cold in small glasses during midsummer and festive snaps, and it is often accompanied by traditional drinking songs.

Thought it would be all design stores, but neighborhoods felt lively. Summer light is unreal, winter is long and grey though.
Many museums have free entry evenings or discounted combo tickets, check each museum site and book slots to skip queues.
Nice and safe, walking at night felt fine. Crowds in Old Town get nasty midday, go early or late to avoid the crush.
If you're there in summer, bring a light jacket for the evenings and use ferries instead of tourist boats for cheaper island hopping.
Two full days felt rushed, three to four gave a relaxed vibe. Museums are good but pace yourself, tickets add up fast.
