Stockholm never sleeps
Very few cities offer nightlife on a par with Stockholm’s - a scene that really lives, seven nights a week, year in, year out. In this respect, Stockholm has very little competition from anywhere north of Paris and London.
The various Stockholm districts abound in meeting places – pubs, cafés and club-style restaurants with different profiles depending on age group and musical preference.
Particularly in Södermalm, but also in Vasastan and Kungsholmen, you’ll find the nightlife is trendier, more youthful and bohemian, with a constantly changing selection of clubs for every taste.
However, most of the larger establishments are located in the precinct around Kungsträdgården, Berzelii Park, Stureplan and the city centre – a large area that is packed with nightlife, especially at weekends.
Café Opera, Riche, StureCompagniet, White Room, Plaza, LaRoy, Spy Bar and Solidaritet are just a handful of the largest and best known of these clubs – the list could be made much longer. And if partying until 3 am isn’t enough to satisfy your tastes, relax. Many of the big clubs don’t close until 05.00.
Live music is another area in which Stockholm has gained a worldwide reputation. Throughout the year, live performances by Swedish and international artists, from classical and jazz to hip hop, electro and death metal, are given at music clubs such as Berns, Nalen, Fasching, Mosebacke and Debaser, as well as at a variety of other larger and smaller venues.
