City break
The cities of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö offer very different flavours of one nation. You have the ‘cool’ of Stockholm, the maritime atmosphere of Gothenburg, Sweden’s second largest city and the multi-cultural aspect of Malmö.
What they all share is an abundance of parks, museums, interesting sites to visit and vibrant cultures. Just about anything you would want to do or see in any one of the three is within walking distance. What they also have in common is forests, sandy beaches, crystal clear lakes and rich flora and fauna. Smack, bang in the middle of town. Getting back to nature in all three is as easy as a walk in the park – of which there are many.
Although smaller in size than Stockholm, both Gothenburg and Malmö offer a wealth of shopping, restaurants and cultural life. Malmö alone is a city of 164 nations and 100 languages. This is deliciously reflected in the myriad of restaurants and cafes here.
The west coast city of Gothenburg meanwhile, offers maritime sights and sounds, along with Michelin Star rated restaurants and Scandinavia’s largest amusement park at Liseberg. Sweden’s capital city of Stockholm meanwhile is built on 14 islands that are crisscrossed by bridges. One of them takes you to über trendy Södermalm island, with its live music scene, cool clubs and trendy inhabitants. You’ll have to discover the other thirteen for yourself when you visit.
The gay and lesbian scene in Stockholm is like the city itself: warm, open-minded and welcoming, easily accessible and fun. There are many gay and gay-friendly clubs, bars, restaurants and other establishments to enjoy.
Sweden’s second biggest city is situated on the west coast and is a gateway to the Western Archipelago, with its peerless isles and barren grey skerries. The city has also gained an international reputation for its innovative cuisine.
Sweden´s third city Malmö has always been characterized by a somewhat different, more ”continental” atmosphere compared with the country´s other larger towns.
Stockholm is one of the world’s most beautiful cities, splendidly spread out over fourteen islands. The city can offer many things, for example great shopping and a vibrant cultural life.
