Going to Stockholm any tips?Hello, I'm going to Stockholm, Sweden for a couple of weeks. Very excited! I'm staying at a backpackers place. Could some people (even Swedish people) recommend some good places to hang out such as bars and clubs that would be fun?

Re: Going to Stockholm any tips?Learn at least some Swedish; don't come across as an ignorant. Get a little "Teach Yourself Swedish" book and aim to work through it before you get there. Even just 20 hours of practice will be very useful.

Re: Going to Stockholm any tips?You can buy/drink in bars/clubs at 18 but not buy alcohol (wines/spirits/spirit mixers) from the state alcohol monopoly until 20. Supermarkets sell beer/cider at 18.(Original post by noobynoo)
Do you have to be 21 to get in anywhere?
Some places use 20 as an admission age. More sophisticated places use 23. -

Re: Going to Stockholm any tips?Take a boat out into the archipelago, tis very beautiful. There are some great museums too if those are your thing. Dovas is a cheap (by Swedish standards) bar which is usually rather popular by young people, it's close to Fridhemsplan underground station. Skansen is also worth a visit :-)
