About this tour
This session follows a fika route through Södermalm, stopping at a bakery for cinnamon and cardamom buns, a counter selling the district's own green princess cake, and the ridge path at Monteliusvägen. It moves through the hilly streets of Söder, Stockholm's district of independent shops and cafes. The pace is unhurried, closer to a Saturday walk than a tour.
After a short sound check, the guide moves between the three stops, showing the food and the views along the way and pausing for questions whenever they come up. A short recap of what was seen and any addresses worth knowing follows after the call.
This suits anyone who likes Scandinavian baking or wants a feel for daily life in Söder rather than its main square. It also works for former visitors wanting to revisit a favourite corner of the district.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 7 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Stockholm before heading out.
-
A Söder bakery 21 min
Inside a Söder bakery, the camera shows trays of cinnamon and cardamom buns fresh from two different ovens, and the guide explains what separates a real kardemummabulle from the everyday sort.
-
Princess cake and coffee counter 21 min
At a pastry counter, the camera lingers on a princess cake, the pale green dome of sponge and cream, and on beans from a Stockholm roaster nearby, while the guide explains why the cake never went out of fashion here.
-
Monteliusvägen viewpoint 21 min
Along Monteliusvägen, the camera looks out from the ridge over the water toward the old town, and the guide talks about the working-class wooden houses of Söder that still stand just behind this path.
-
Your questions 14 min
Time to ask anything about Stockholm: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 6 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Gravlax and Södermalm, worth a slower look.
