Local tip
We recommend a stroll through Haga in Gothenburg, a charming district with cosy cafés and historic wooden houses. In Stockholm, don’t miss Kenny’s Gelato, known for the best ice cream in town. In Malmö, a food stroll through the Market Hall is a great way to sample local and international flavours.
