Are you a fan of Stieg Larsson´s crime novels?

Finished the book -but want more?

Visit the center of the mystery, Stockholm this summer and take a Stieg Larsson Tour to see ‘what happened where’ in one of Europe´s most beautiful cities.

Stieg Larsson´s Crime Novels have been an instant success where ever published.

The Trilogy is called Millennium and the books  are titled “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”, “The Girl who Played with Fire” and “Castles in the Sky”/ “The Girl who kicked the Hornet´s Nest” (still unpublished in English). Most of the story takes place on the island Södermalm, in Stockholm, where the main characters live and work. Södermalm is known as not only the hippest neighborhood in Stockholm but also the most genuine, with a good mix of the old and new.  And all you true fans of Stieg Larssson´s novels know that all the Good guys live on Södermalm and all the Bad guys live on the other side of the Lake Malaren surrounding Stockholm like the posh neighborhood Vasastan.

Start your first morning in Stockholm at Stieg Larsson´s and his alter ego Mikael Blomqvist´s favorite café Mellqvist Kaffebar -just be aware that there has been a change of owner since Stieg Larsson´s days.

The Stockholm City Museum arranges a very popular Stieg Larson Millienium Tour around Södermalm by foot so you can see where the events in the books take places, for example the crossing where the murder attempt of Mikael Blomqvist was made… The tour is in English every Saturday at 11 am during June-September. It costs 100 SEK (about 10 Euro) and you can buy tickets in advance at Ticnet or go to Ryssgarden in Stockholm by subway station Slussen.

Of course the best place to stay in Stockholm is also on Södermalm and Hostelsclub has several good hostels to choose from:  Zinkensdanm vandrarhem, Pensionat Oden, Rygerfjord Hotel and Hostel, Skanstulls vandrahem, and Acco hostel.

So keep up the suspense this summer and go to Stockholm.
