There are a lot of different stores around the city: from lovely vintage shops and Scandinavian design stores to the famous H&M. While shopping, you can have a coffee break or, how locals call it, "fika". But here in Sweden, people attach more importance to your usual refreshment break. "Fika" is a sort of cultural feature and a great opportunity to meet with friends sharing a cup of hot coffee. Luckily, Stockholm houses a great number of different cafes.
