    Feskekörka

    The historical fish market – the "fish church" – has reopened after a major renovation in the early 2020s. Now there are just a couple of restaurants and shops (formerly there was a much larger number of them), though the place is still all about fish and seafood.

  3. Buy

    Haga Nygata

    Haga is a unique part of town, well worth visiting for other things than shopping, but if you are looking for unique things to buy, this is where to go. Several Swedish fashion shops as well as a hatmaker, many antique-shops and other "odd" shops such as an olive oil store make Haga an ideal place. On fall Sundays the square hosts a farmer's market, and in December each weekend hosts a Christmas market. Apart from in December the area is a little bit less hectic than the other shopping areas.
