19,560 places in Stockholm and its islands, from Södermalm bars to Nacka's waterside, for travelers who want the city locals actually use.
Sweden is long and thinly peopled, and its capital is spread across fourteen islands where the lake meets the sea. Stockholm is where Num is deepest: 19,560 places from Gamla Stan and Södermalm out to Nacka, Solna, Lidingö and Hägersten, including 2,047 restaurants, 1,026 cafés, 637 bars, 190 museums and 2,099 beauty and spa listings.
Ask Num here for a café that does a proper fika near your hotel, a bar on Södermalm open after the metro stops, a bakery selling cardamom buns before 7am, a museum for a dark December afternoon, a sauna you can book for tonight, or a step-free route from T-Centralen to your ferry. It answers with one real place and whether it is open, which matters in a city where hours change with the season.
Every destination Num covers here, with how many places it holds in each. Open one for the full picture.

Many cafés, shops and even market stalls refuse cash entirely, and buses take none. A contactless bank card or phone wallet handles almost everything; krona notes are for the rare exception.
Tap a contactless card or phone at the gate for the metro, buses and commuter trains, or buy an SL travel card for longer stays. Tickets cannot be bought on board.
Anything stronger than light beer is sold only at Systembolaget, the state shops, which close early on Saturdays and are shut on Sundays. Bars and restaurants serve normally.
In December the sun sets before 3pm; in June it barely sets at all. Both change how a day is planned, so check the clock rather than the sky.
Allemansrätten lets you walk, swim and camp on most land outside gardens and fields, and Stockholmers swim from rocks and jetties right in the city all summer.
Message Num the way you would message a friend who lives here, in any language. It answers with one real place that fits, open now, and how to get there. It is free for travelers. Businesses list free and pay only when Num completes a booking for them, so nothing here is ranked by who paid.
Yes, though less than its reputation for lunch, since the weekday dagens rätt at restaurants is good value. Alcohol, taxis and hotels are where the bill climbs.
Yes. Message it in any language and it answers in yours, with a real place that is open now.
June to August for long light evenings, swimming and the archipelago boats; December for markets and snow if you are dressed for it. Midsummer weekend in late June empties the city, and much closes.
