    Excellent collection of printed material. You will find comic books, manga, books, games, cards and posters. You will also find figurines, toys, gadgets, memorabilia and themed clothes. You will not find movies, series or music, as the store does not specialize in those media. The service is friendly. The staff and owners trust visitors to take care of the media. You feel treated with respect at all times. And other patrons are also very respectful of each other's space. If you like science fiction and fantasy, this is the place to go in Stockholm.

    This place is amazing! We literally spent 1,5 hours here. If you are into science fiction (books, tabletop games, art, cosplay, collector stuff…etc.) this place is Heaven for you. Please keep in mind, this place is extremely busy and you should expect long lines in front of the store - as they are limiting the number of indoor visitor due to Covid.

    I love places that make me feel like a nerd I am. You will get lost in here. If you are waking around to the old city and passing by the souvenir shops then this has to also be one of your stops. Life sized Darth Vader, hanging xenomorph, harry potter robes and wands, manga, movies and much more.

    Best science fiction bookstore ever! Weird location in the middle of the tourist trap that is gamla Stan. Be prepared to spend quite a while here... there are books, manga, board and role playing games, Warhammer figurines and paints

  • 5/5 José Luis Zapata De S. 5 months ago on Google • 77 reviews
    Great service, lots of books, comics and anime. Also a great selection of board games and miniature games like Warhammer 40K.

  • 5/5 martinka 2. 6 months ago on Google • 74 reviews
    Every bookworm should have to visit this beautiful bookstore. But be aware that you are going to want to buy everything 😉

  • 5/5 Nadia J. 8 months ago on Google • 60 reviews
    Greatest bookstore ever, especially for readers of genre fiction (e.g. horror, sci fi, manga, fantasy, etc.) or fans of tabletop gaming, though they also have tons of recent bestsellers in both Swedish and English, too.

  • 5/5 Philip G. 4 months ago on Google • 45 reviews
    I loved it! The staff were cool, welcoming and friendly. The selection of books is excellent, I am a big fan of RPGs so I picked up Mörk Borg which I love and have since bought for my brother. I got Old School Essentials Player's Tome because I love DND bu I've fallen out of love with 5e. My fiancée managed to find a copy of Memento Mori: The Dead Among Us by Paul Koudounaris, which is an excellent book! I highly recommend this shop if you're local or a visitor on holiday 😊. Next step is to move to Sweden so I can buy all of my books from hear and learn to read in Swedish 😁.

    Wow! Despite the name this shop sells everything in the fiction category, and not just books. They have every board game you could imagine, as well as minis + paints (all the good brands), tabletop RPG games, manga, other Japanese paraphernalia- you name it! The store is also nicely laid out, with lots of kitsch models and statues everywhere. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Martyna Z. 6 months ago on Google • 24 reviews
    Awesome store for any geeks, nerds, anime lovers and games fanatics. The prices are reasonable for most of stuff, books are a little expensive but they have a lot of awesome title that you cannot find anywhere else. One of must must-to-go store when I'm in Stockholm

  • 5/5 Georgia P. 2 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    Such an amazing store I could spend hours in here. All the books you could possibly want and more, on top of the greatest selection of boardgames.

  • 5/5 Kenn A. 2 years ago on Google
    Very large book, game, comics and merchandise store, located in a beautiful old building. A must visit.

  • 4/5 David G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great selection of books & comics. Lots of Japanese manga! Most of them seem to be in English. There’s also a lot of merchandise & even some Japanese grammar books.

  • 5/5 Casilda Aulia R. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place to look for merchandise from fiction books and movies! For Potterheads, this place is a must visit since you can find tons of Harry Potter stuff here.

  • 5/5 Diana M. 6 months ago on Google
    Such a cool bookstore! It's very big and you need to spend a long time in it to be able to see everything properly.

  • 5/5 Lou94 8 months ago on Google
    The best store ever! You can find so much fantastic Mangas, Fantasy Books and so much more! Any cute merchandise from Studio Ghibli, Harry Potter and more. For Booklovers, Anime Fans and all people who love the extraordinary thinks ☺️

  • 5/5 Sylvia Y. 7 months ago on Google
    Charmingly good bookstore! Great variety of science fiction subgenres, intriguingly curated. Surprisingly vast collection of manga too. Didn't get the chance to see it all, so definitely in my list for my next Stockholm visit.

  • 5/5 Maria P. 10 months ago on Google
    Huge selection of books, manga, board games etc. A must-see place for all sci-fi lovers visiting Stockholm.

  • 5/5 Christophe W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the best niche bookstores that I have ever been to. They had an expansive book collection along with games and collectibles. They are a bit pricey but sometimes it is worth it to find everything in one place

  • 5/5 R.A.S L. 8 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    My fellow manga and MXTX fans/lovers, this place is heaven for us 🙌🏻 yeah they didn't had volume 4 in the store in Stockholm so I'm getting it in another city in their store ofc 🤌🏻

  • 5/5 Roland H. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is simply out of this world. A vast collection of books, games and all sorts of collectibles over multiple floors. The sheer amount of stuff they have in this brilliant shop is staggering. I found two books that had not yet been released in the UK (one not out until October!) They have huge stocks of Warhammer and other minis games, a ton o f manga and more more more. Unmissable.

  • 5/5 &Tilly [. 3 years ago on Google
    An incredible, cute book store with a great selection of many different origins. A lot of Japanese manga, as well as many collectors items. Loved the decor, and there’s so much to see! Recommended to every visitor of Stockholm. Simply awesome.

  • 5/5 Steve L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool bookstore with something for every scifi fan. Cool decor, vast selection from new stuff to classics. Definitely worth popping in! Really cool place to shop.

  • 5/5 Shiri 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely bookstore with lots of lovely merch from both old and new movies books, comics... There are books in both Swedish and English. There is a whole section in there for Potter heads. So a must go to all HP fans.

  • 5/5 Christin S. 1 year ago on Google
    This might be my favorite part of Gamla Stan. A legit bookstore with a huge selection of untie board games upstairs and sections specifically dedicated to the Harry Pooter houses

  • 5/5 Somewhere S. 1 year ago on Google
    Went in expecting a standard bookstore and it turned out to be a treasure chest. This store has it all, I was in geek heaven. From full size xenomorphs to Warhammer to anime and plushies. Highly rate this place please check it out when you are in the area and bring your wallet and prepare to buy much happiness.

  • 5/5 Tobias L. 1 year ago on Google
    Paradise for every nerd of any franchise. Has every kind of book, manga, and boardgame on the planet. There was even a corner to playtest games. I personally appreciate the Dungeons & Dragons source books, mini figures, and dice sets. Could have a better selection of posters though.

👍👍 This was an amazing place we were super lucky to find!! We went to the shoe shop green laces and the staff there recommended us this place. We went there and it felt like a huge relief from all the extremely expensive places we were seeing in Stockholm, and it had ridiculously delicious vegan food....

😐 An average toy store with an ok selection of toys for kids. There’s the usual boxes of Legos, dolls and dinosaurs. Nothing really stands out. It’s on the smaller side if you look at what you’d find in a suburban mall, but considering the location it’s sizable. Prices are a bit on the steep side, b...
