Destinations
[edit]
Map of Stockholm in fiction
- 1 Junibacken ([ˈjʉːniˈbakən]), Galärvarvsvägen (Stockholm/Djurgården). Astrid Lindgren, author of Pippi Longstocking, Karlsson-on-the-Roof and numerous other children's books, is by far Sweden's most popular writer of children's books. Located on the Djurgården island, like many other child-friendly attractions, Junibacken could be described as an indoor theme-park dedicated to the world of her (and a few other Swedish writers') stories. There is also a restaurant.
- 2 Astrid Lindgren's home. Astrid Lindgren lived in this Stockholm apartment from 1941 until her death in 2002. Open for visitors since November 2015. Reservations only.
- 3 Bellmansgatan (Södermalm, Stockholm). This street is the setting of much of the Millennium series (as Lisbeth and Mikael's home), and has a spectacular view of central Stockholm. Some scenes were shot at the rundown traffic hub Slussen; which has been torn down during the 2010s.
- 4 Blackeberg (Bromma, Stockholm). A 1950s suburb which used to be rather anonymous until it became the setting for the vampire film Let The Right One In.
- 5 Norröra (Stockholm archipelago). The TV series Vi på Saltkråkan was recorded here. The story was to some extent inspired by Astrid's summers in Furusund.
- 1 Filmstaden, Greta Garbos väg 3. A studio complex for the Swedish cinema, closed down and converted into a museum in 1999. Ingmar Bergman has directed several films at the studios.
- 2 Strindbergsmuseet, Drottninggatan 85. Dedicated to August Strindberg.
- 3 Swedish Performing Arts Museum (Scenkonstmuseet), Sibyllegatan 2. A museum which displays dance, theatre and music from Sweden and other countries. Since 2018, it has an exhibition for Swedish pop music.
