A bite of old Stockholm - Taste the history

A bite of old Stockholm

Food awakens memories, creates conversations – and can become an unexpected gateway to history. In this unique city walk in Södermalm, we combine stories from Per Anders Fogelström's Stockholm with samples from the past.

Join us on a tour in the footsteps of the working-class neighborhoods. We wander through environments where Henning, Lotten, Tummen & Matilda could have walked – and stop along the way to taste life as it once was. It's not about advanced cooking, but about simple, honest flavors from a time when every bite counted: hard bread, aged cheese, lingonberry jam and other things that belonged to everyday life in the homes of the poor.

The walk is inspired by food tours around the world – from Tokyo's narrow alleys to neighborhood taverns in Delhi – but with its heart in Söder's history. A different kind of experience where you get to take in Stockholm with both ears, eyes and palate.
