Hello guys,
Maybe u can give me some advices refering to my trip through sweden.
A friend and me are planning a trekking tour through norway and sweden. We will stay in Stockholm from 14.9-16.9 and further on 18.9 in Kiruna. Do u can recommend us some nice sightseeing places in Stockholm? Places/Buildings that should be seen by tourists.We will also walk through the wonderful landscape.
Oh well, and still a further question. Do u can recommend us some parties/clubs in Stockholm playing some nice prog/electronic house/breaks sounds at this time, I would lovely listen to some of your country's favourite artists like Parham, Martin H, Inkfish, David West, Ozgur Can and so on, but of course I wont be defered to listen to other dj's too. :)
Please tell me everything that could help me. I appreciate every advice and help! |

hello Syntophax
here are some tips for Stockholm
In January this year I had a friend over all the way from Auz. Since it was cold winter at the time it was kinda hard to come up with things to do in Stockholm (A summer city). I tried to get him to go ice skating, he refused. In fact, the closest thing to snow we got, was making angels(He hadn't seen snow before that. That could explain the childish act).
Now here are some other things we did (much appreciated)
Visited the "Absolute Ice Bar" The world’s first permanent ice bar, right in the heart of Stockholm. The interior is kept at -5°C all year round. All of the interior fittings, including the glasses, are made of pure, clear ice from the Torne River in northern Sweden.
Package price from 150 SEK
-Price includes warm clothing
-Choice of drink in ice glass
-The "ice experience"
Well worth it imo!
Opening hours in September
Mon - Thur 3pm- Midnight
Fri 3pm - 1am (Drop in 9.45pm - 1am)
Sat 3pm - 1am (Drop in 9.45pm - 1am)
Sun 3pm - 10pm
Address: Vasaplan 4
close to the Central Station and the Arlanda Express train. Just ask for the Nordic Sea Hotel.
There are plenty of museums in Stockholm.. not that I'm a big enthusiast but here's a list
Walk in the old town Very gemÜtlich ;) Interesting buildings with history, nice shops and a classic tourist attraction. You'll see the royal castle as well. You'll pass it on your way to the Old town.
Another tourist thing to do is to go watch a movie at Cosmonova. It's not typical Stockholm, but a nice experience and a good way to spend your time. Link here
When it comes to sightseeing... hmm, well.. try to take a trip with one of all the boats. Maybe the one from Slussen to Djurgården. (an Island with the great amusement park "Gröna Lund", also "Skansen" -A famous zoo). It's very cheap and a great way to see Stockholm (the City on Water).
My personal favourites when it comes to sightseeing are:
Monteliusgången (take a walk from subway station: Slussen). If you're interested I can post a map. View from Monteliusgången:
or
Skinnarviksberget. Subway station: Zinkensdamm. I can post more info if you're interested.
view from Skinnarviksberget:
Otherwise I think you should check out this page if you haven't already.
About clubbing, I have no idea.. Stay tuned, something may come up later. |

thx for this extensive information about Stockholm, Glorie:)
There are some very interesting places u suggest to me, especially the "Absolute Ice Bar" and "Monteliusgången". I think we will visit these places for sure. Cosmonova seems to be very interesting too. Whats the "Skinnarviksberget" like exactly? Is it a hill in the middle of stockholm or something like that? Oh and thx for the links.
Just let me know if u got further information about stockholm and its nightlife especially.:)
@Scul
Some specific questions? Well, I am very interested in architecture. Maybe do u know some good places/buildings represant swedish architecture in stockholm? I would lovely learn something about swedish history/nature/society etc. by visting some specific museums, too. Do u know some of them?
Unfortunetly, I dont find out some information about nightlife in stockholm. Please give me some advices where I can experience typical swedish partys.;) |

well I am not an expert in Stockholm or city architecture cause quite frankly I enjoy the countryside more.
I must say that imo, one of the finest architectural buildings in Sweden, is built in Malmö .... LOL ... which is kinda far from Stockholm
but take a look:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_Torso
if you go to Cosmonova you can visit "Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet" at the same time where you can see all kinds of things from the Swedish nature and science. It's in the same building
since i'm not a local I can't help about clubs or anything in the Stockholm nightlife either, Steve should be up for that. |
