Clothes for everyone
If you both want to be properly dressed to survive
and to impress, then you must visit the Helly Han-
sen Outlet in Stockholm Quality Outlet located in
Barkarby just outside Stockholm. Here you can
buy the tiny, tiny bikini to the sexy sailor, the most
competent rain clothes for the skipper and everyth-
ing in between.
Don’t get lost
A good map is also outdoor equipment and right
across the street from Stockholm’s Central Station
you’ll find Kartbutiken. This store has maps for
hiking, cycling, or canoeing for the active traveler.
