reasonably close to the opera house or heading into Gamla Stan if after the show. I can’t find anything about early/late sittings in recent postings. l have eaten in the opera restaurant’s cheaper back room on...

Just got back from a trip to Stockholm, Oslo and the fjords. It’s true about the best restaurants being closed in Stockholm during July! One warning: avoid a restaurant called Jarntorgspumpen in Gamla Stan (old town). You...
