Stockholm's famous upscale department store has branched out to Gothenburg, bringing in premium brands such as Paul Smith, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Dior, YSL and Prada and equally well-known Swedish brands – for instance the crystal manufacturers Orrefors and Kosta Boda. Just opposite Arkaden, the NK also features an upscale-ish café and sushi restaurant.
