Although it's right on Drottninggatan, one of Stockholm's busiest shopping streets, it's easy to walk past the entrance to Centralbadet and not see it. It's set back from the street, behind a small garden area. Inside, it offers a range of treatments in a wonderfully old-fashioned building.
Stockholm's most celebrated spa, with a restaurant so good that it even attracts those not interested in the facilities and a list of treatments that never ends.
