Mariatorget grocery stores
The shopping is small and functional.
14 stores, plotted
Supermercado Grand Gourmet
Supermercado Grand Gourmet on Wollmar Yxkullsgatan is where you go for the olives, the ones worth crossing Mariatorget for. The shop is small, the Spanish shelves are deep, and the fish counter sits alongside them.
Gamla Amsterdam
Gamla Amsterdam on Hornsgatan is a Dutch cheese shop in Mariatorget, and the Dutch range is what you come for: cheeses you buy to take home, plus gift packages wrapped for presents.
Fabrique · Mariatorget
Fabrique on Götgatan opens at 7:30 am on weekdays and shuts at 6:30 pm, with a cardamom bun worth timing your morning around.
ICA Supermarket Aptiten
ICA Supermarket Aptiten on Torkel Knutssonsgatan keeps the same hours every day of the week, 8 am to 10 pm, Sundays included.
S:t Paul Bageri · Mariatorget
S:t Paul Bageri on S:t Paulsgatan in Mariatorget sells bread that stays fresh until late afternoon and a cardamom bun heavy with ground cardamom, both worth the trip alone.
Chic
Chic on Swedenborgsgatan is a Södermalm konditori where the semla comes in several variations and the toscaflarn is the thing to order first.
Mariatorget, in short
Mariatorget is a square on Södermalm, not a shopping district, and the neighbourhood around it is mostly residential: people who live here walk to the square for the station and pick up groceries on the way home. The station of the same name sits under it, and Hornsgatan runs along the northern edge, where Gamla Amsterdam sells Dutch cheese to take home.
A traveler comes here for the square itself and for the ordinary Södermalm streets around it rather than for any landmark. There is no famous monument on Mariatorget, and the honest pull is the everyday: a working neighbourhood centre with a station, a square, and a handful of food shops.
ICA Supermarket Aptiten on Torkel Knutssonsgatan keeps the same hours every day, 8 am to 10 pm, Sundays included, which is what most locals use for a full basket. Götgatsbacken on Götgatan, the former Matrebellen, is a small grocery with a corner of cheap odds and ends, the kind you dig through rather than scan. Between them the mix is two supermarkets and a cheese shop, spread roughly 11 to 14 minutes' walk apart.
Coming from the Mariatorget station, the square and Hornsgatan are what you reach first. If you are heading elsewhere afterwards, the walk down toward Götgatan is the one worth making for the odds-and-ends corner.
Sunday hours are the same as any other day
ICA Supermarket Aptiten opens 8 am to 10 pm every day of the week, Sundays included. If you are arriving on a Sunday and need a proper shop, this is the one to plan around.
Don't come expecting a market
Mariatorget is a residential square with a station, not a market district. The food shops here are ordinary and few, so treat them as errands rather than a destination in themselves.
Quick answers
What food shops are actually in Mariatorget?
There are three: ICA Supermarket Aptiten on Torkel Knutssonsgatan, Götgatsbacken on Götgatan, and Gamla Amsterdam on Hornsgatan, which is an épicerie selling Dutch cheese. Two are supermarkets and one is the cheese shop, so the choice is narrow. For a full basket, the supermarkets are the practical stop.
When can I shop in Mariatorget?
ICA Supermarket Aptiten keeps the same hours every day, 8 am to 10 pm, Sundays included, so a Sunday evening shop is possible there. None of the three shops is open around the clock, so late-night errands are not what this neighbourhood is set up for. Plan your shopping before 10 pm.
How do I get to Mariatorget?
The Mariatorget station sits right at the square, which is the simplest way in. From the station, Hornsgatan and the square are what you reach first. The shops are spread out, with roughly 11 to 14 minutes' walk between the furthest apart.
