In Stockholm’s Old Town, there is a truly wonderful store that we decided to visit on the second day of our trip. And we were not disappointed. In fact, it turned out to be the best place we visited during our entire four-day stay in Stockholm. The shop left us with the warmest and most pleasant impressions, especially because we absolutely love places like this.
The store offers an enormous selection of books on a wide range of topics and genres. There is a whole section dedicated to the world of Harry Potter, as well as many themed board games and books related to video games like Warhammer, The Last of Us, and Minecraft. There’s even an entire stand devoted to Star Wars, featuring plenty of figurines, Star Wars books, Harry Potter books, and themed mugs and magical trinkets from the world of Hogwarts.
As you enter the first floor, you’re immediately greeted by a huge collection of anime-related books. In fact, anime seems to be the most represented category on the ground floor. There’s also a large display with posters of popular titles like Pokémon, Star Wars, and various video games.
The staff are incredibly friendly. When we were looking for the Star Wars section and couldn’t find it on the ground floor, a kind and polite staff member walked us upstairs, showed us the exact location of the stand, and wished us a great day. It was a genuinely warm and helpful experience.
If you’re a fan of Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings”, you won’t be disappointed either. The store features a great number of books dedicated to the series—various editions, beautifully illustrated volumes, and behind-the-scenes books about the film adaptation.
If you enjoy movies, series, anime, or the world of fantasy and magic, this store is definitely for you. We came from Estonia, and this place truly felt like a gem. We wholeheartedly...
