Efva Attling – Swedish Jewelry
Efva Attling is a Swedish silversmith and jewelry designer from Stockholm. During the mid-1990s she started her own line of jewelry and today she has stores in over ten countries. The company has a vision and business concept to create unique jewelry with a thought.
At the Efva Attling store, you’ll find simple but beautiful jewelry that makes a great gift for yourself and your loved ones.
Personally, I have two pieces from Efva Attling that I always have with me during my travels. I had mentioned to my mom that I wanted to have something with me that reminds me of her, so she bought me a necklace and bracelet with the text ”Pencez De Moy”, which means ”think of me” in 1300s French.
They really have some beautiful and thoughtful pieces, so make sure to check them out if you want to buy some local jewelry!
BikBok – Young / Trendy Fashion
BikBok is a Scandinavian Brand with fashion for women. Here you’ll find young and trendy clothing at affordable prices.

Granit – Interior
Granit is a must-visit shop for those who are looking for Swedish interior. It’s a store that offers Swedish design with durable function in neutral colors.
At Granit, you’ll find everything from interior and bags to things for the kitchen and your body & mind.
Granit is a Swedish store that I love to visit when shopping in Mall of Scandinavia!
iDeal of Sweden – Phone Accessories
iDeal of Sweden is a fashion and lifestyle brand for mobile accessories. They’re focused on creating products that are functional and stylish.

Lyko – Swedish Beauty Products
Lyko is one of Swedens most popular places to shop for beauty products online. In Mall of Scandinavia they have one of their stores, and there you can shop for beauty products.
As a tourist, I recommend buying some local Swedish brands since they’re really good. I recommend checking out these brands;
- Maria Nila

All three brands are cruelty-free and many of their products are vegan too!
Naturkompaniet – Outdoor Gear with brands such as Fjällräven
Naturkompaniet (translates into the Nature Company in English) is a Swedish store that sells outdoor clothing and gear. Here you can shop for brands such as Osprey, Haglöfs, Houdini, 66 North (Icelandic Brand), and the famous Swedish brand Fjällräven.

Down below I’ve mentioned some classic Swedish places to have a meal or a cup of coffee during your visit to Mall of Scandinavia.
Espresso House
If you want to grab a cup of coffee and a pastry and sit down for a while, then I can recommend visiting Espresso House. Espresso House is a Swedish coffee chain that you can find in both Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. It’s one of the biggest coffee shops in Scandinavia with over 400 cafés.
Having a Swedish Fika (socializing with friends or family over a cup of coffee and sweets) is a must to do in Sweden since it’s such a traditional and local thing to do.
Espresso House never disappoints when it comes to good coffee, sweets, and food.
MAX
MAX is Swedens oldest and most popular hamburger chain. They serve delicious ”fast-food” burgers for both the meat eaters, vegetarians, and even the vegans.
I can say that I’ve tried both the meat burgers, the veggie burgers, and the vegan burgers – and all of them are delicious!
You must eat at MAX at least once during your stay in Sweden. It’s such a classic!
O’Learys
O’Learys is a Swedish restaurant with the concept of an American sports bar and restaurant in one. Here you can go and watch a game, enjoy a Swedish beer, and eat some American food.
They do not only offer food, drinks, and TV where they show sports games, but they also offer lots of fun activities. Here you can enjoy bowling, pool tables, a climbing wall, shooting ranges, bumper cars ”Bumper Football”, mini golf, shuffleboard, dart, 3- & 5 Battles, and even laser tag.
At this restaurant/bar you can easily spend a whole evening having fun with your friends or family!
Sibylla
Sibylla is another fast-food place that’s very common in Sweden. Here you can eat a very Swedish thing – sausages with mashed potatoes, chopped pickled cucumber, and salad. In addition to that, they also sever several hamburger dishes.
If you’re getting a little bit hungry from shopping in Mall of Scandinavia, then I can recommend go here and eat ”korv med mos”, which is the sausage dish I mentioned above.
Vigårda – My favorite restaurant in Mall of Scandinavia
This is another restaurant that serves good-quality burgers that are simply delicious. I had a veggie burger at this place once, and it was seriously one of the best burgers I’ve ever had.
In addition to the burgers, their fries are to-die-for and their side salads and dipping sauces are really good too!
If you’re planning to spend a whole day at Mall of Scandinavia, I can recommend to go shopping, stop at Vigårda for a burger, and then head over to the cinema and watch a movie!
Mall of Scandinavia Cinema
The cinema at Mall of Scandinavia ”Filmstaden Scandinavia” gives you the ultimate experience. This place is equipped with 15 auditoriums and they also have Swedens first IMAX salon with 500 seats. The IMAX salon pushes the cinema experience to a whole new level.
