Olsson Och Dåm G�tgatan 59 is a very colorful, fun shop with beautiful gift items and practical things for the home. Don�t forget to visit the cellar where you can find modern Swedish furniture and home decorating articles.

Gudrun Sjöden, G�tgatan 44 carries clothing items with splashes of color so rare in a city where a large majority of the population dresses in trendy blacks, browns, or greys. Half my home�s interior decoration (curtains, bedsheets, pillows, rugs) come from this shop.

Ordning Och Reda, G�tgatan 32 is a shop that celebrates the Swedish devotion to structure and order. They have a popular collection of bags, notebooks, pens, folders, photo albums in matching bright colors.

The building located at G�tgatan 31 houses a number of shops worth visiting.

Take a break at Wayne's Coffee. But first pop into Press Stop for your fill of magazines and newspapers from all over the world.

Designtorget (The Design Square) showcases modern Swedish design and artistry. It has a collection of the works of both up-and-coming as well as established Swedish designers and craftsmen. The shop has everything, from earrings to wine glasses, mirrors, clothing, slippers and toys.

Granit is much like Ordning och Reda, but articles are mostly in blacks and whites. Don�t forget to ask to see their version of the paper clip which is so simple, functional, and unique in its design that you won�t even suspect it was a paper clip!

After half a day going through all the goodies that G�tgatsbacken has to offer, walk to the very north end of the street and turn right. Lift your head a bit and and you will see what seems to be a boat elevated high up in the air.

This is Gondolen (The Gondola), which prides itself as being the restaurant with the most magnificient view of Stockholm. The crowd consists of locals entertaining their foreign guests, romantic couples, business people, and Stockholmers simply adoring the sights of their splendid city .

You can choose to stay in the bar for an early evening drink, or in the restaurant to indulge in a classic Swedish meal. The food is delicious, and the service is excellent, although, beware... meals can be quite pricey.

But then, hey... don�t you deserve it?

Enjoy your time in Stockholm, ladies!
