Publish date: 25 October 2024
In the mood for a coffee somewhere in the northern part of inner-city Stockholm? Here are some of the best coffeeshops in Vasastan.
Vasastan is inner-city Stockholm's northernmost district. From Norra Stationsgatan you can see the Karolinska Institute and Hagastaden which are located in the neighboring municipality of Solna. And although Vasastan is still very much a part of the busy downtown area of Stockholm nature is never far away. From here you can reach both Haga Park and Stockholm University by taking a scenic walk along the shore of Lake Brunnsviken. Perhaps with a cup of freshly brewed coffee in hand, from Vasastan's great cafés?
