Det okända Stockholm

Saga Loxdal is the person behind the popular social media account *Sagas okända Sthlm* ​​("Saga’s Unknown Stockholm"), where, over the past few years, she has shared stories—both historical and contemporary—about her beloved hometown. Now, it is time to dig even deeper.

*Det okända Stockholm* ("The Unknown Stockholm") serves as an urban treasure map for anyone eager to discover that the city they thought they knew actually harbors an entire world of hidden spaces, mysteries, and enigmas. Within these pages, you will encounter a Stockholm filled with Cold War-era fallout shelters, bricked-up ticket halls, abandoned burial grounds, preserved period interiors, secret passageways, curious memorial chambers, and urban myths rooted in reality. We traverse Södermalm, Norrmalm, Gamla Stan, Östermalm, and Kungsholmen, as well as the northern and southern suburbs, uncovering the city’s secrets—one by one.

Featuring photography by Joakim Loxdal, the book demonstrates time and again that behind the mundane and seemingly dull, there is always at least one great story—often several. Be warned: you may never look at Stockholm the same way again—whether you are a casual visitor or a lifelong Stockholmer. And that is precisely the point.
