About Stockholm

Welcome to one of the most ravishing cities in the world! Stockholm, located on the sylvan archipelago of fourteen islands, is a perfect blend of a modern silhouette against a historically charming backdrop. This capital city of Sweden and the most populated of all the Nordic countries is home to many alluring attractions, as well as two UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Like a postcard brought to life, Stockholm oozes comfort and grace and offers visitors a plethora of events and activities, secret gardens, blooming parks, sparkling cascading waterfront promenades, beaches, to deserted islands and metropolitan areas. Visitors can immerse themselves into a culturally rich environment with a good music scene, restaurants, and shopping places. Here, the contemporary eco-architecture seems to effortlessly merge with the health-conscious locals who thrive in the outdoors. Get to know the city up close and personal by strolling the medieval cobblestone streets of Old Town or catch a ferry to the green island, Djurgarden. Look out for rental bikes during summer to zip through those beautiful cycle paths. For shopping aficionados, the vintage stores offer promise. Sweat out your stress at the Nacka Nature Reserve, or choose something more adventurous, one of the hiking trails around Lake Kalltorp. Winter sports here are also fun and very popular. The nightlife is vibrant and diverse and ranges from groovy clubs to the ethereal floating bars. Stockholm is all this and much more. Come and discover first-hand the timeless, ethereal bounty of this happening Scandinavian city.

Night Life

As the sun begins its descent, the first thing one needs to do when in Stockholm is to get to the Moteliusvagencliff path for a sweet spot to watch the sunset. This is a stunning experience when the Northern Lights are visible. When that is done, turn your sights inland and the night can be yours! Night time activities across Sweden require the patrons to be at least 18 years and at times when indulging in alcoholic beverages. 

Thanks to its wide variety of chic nightclubs, dance clubs, bars, and much more, Stockholm comes alive at night. Gamla Stan looks more ravishing in its after-dark facade. Two throbbing nightlife jaunts are that of Sodermalm and Stureplan. The Swedes are particular about their clothing and prefer to wear black when dancing at Stockholm's open-air club at Tradgarden. The downside of the discos is the strict selection based on your style of dress, as the bouncers can be unrelenting. But if you dress in accordance with the dress code, you get to dance to the beats of the best DJs and savor the finest of ale. The Lemon Bar, Himlen, Under Bron, etc. are some of the places that should be visited during the night to enjoy the nightlife of Stockholm. Apart from this, you can indulge in various casinos of Stockholm as well as some museums and monuments that are open even at night!

Exclusive to Stockholm's night scene is the 19th century complex of Berns, which is choc bloc with bars, clubs, restaurants, and a hotel with the live action happening at Stora Salongen. Feeling playful? Then whether single or in a boisterous group, head straight to the legendary basement venue Ugglan for an all-night gaming extravaganza. In keeping with its inclusive ways, one can also come across gay and lesbian nightlife venues with ease, with numerous dedicated rainbow-flagged bars and clubs near the Stockholm Sodra train station.
