Guide to Midsommarkransen
Publish date: 22 August 2024
Midsommarkransen is a popular residential area just southwest of trendy Söder with small boutiques and homey restaurants. Here's a small selection of places to explore.
Midsommarkransen was built in the early years of the 20th century, to house workers at AB Tellus's brick factory. Later, when Ericsson moved their main offices and factory to the area, the suburb grew to meet the demands of the telecom giant.
Ericsson left Midsommarkransen in 2000, and since then it has become something of an extension to Södermalm. Midsommarkransen's proximity to Stockholm’s trendiest district (either two stops with the metro’s red line or a short 15-minute walk to Hornstull) has made apartments in the suburb a highly sought-after commodity. And you’ll find the same relaxed and laid-back vibe as in SoFo, with a vintage boutique, niche design shop, or great café at almost every corner in the neighborhood.
Many of the shops have irregular opening hours and some are only open during the weekends. Check their respective home pages for more info.
