Södermalm

Södermalm spans across an entire island in central Stockholm, featuring steep cliffs that provide views of the city's main waterways and skyline.

Initially a rural area until the 1600s, Södermalm transformed from worker cottages to larger buildings during the 1700s as Stockholm's population expanded.

The district contains multiple photography exhibitions at Fotografiska museum, which presents works in Swedish and English along the waterfront.

Four metro stations connect the district to central Stockholm, while numerous bridges allow vehicle and pedestrian access from surrounding areas.

The SoFo area, located south of Folkungagatan street, contains independent fashion stores, vintage shops, and specialized food establishments.
