You cannot go to
sweden without visiting Stockholm, here are a few of my tips that hasn't been
mentioned:
Gröna Lund: Some of the biggest musicians
come to Stockholm to perform in Gröna Lund each summer. This year (2018), you
can see Europe, Thirty seconds to Mars. Macklemore, Icona Pop, Marilyn Manson,
The Offspring, Gene Simmons band and MORE. And you only pay 270SEK for free
entrance all summer.
Pharmarium: Cactailbar/restaurant in Old town. The premises was once one of the
first pharmacies in Sweden and it shows in the interior. The drinks are insane,
containing gold, fresh flowers, birchwood smoke, hay and liquorice. And they
are all good.
Yasuragi: A bit pricey, but this japan-inspired spa outside of Stockholm is
just wonderful. Best part is, you never have to wear any clothes since all are
supposed to wear a Japanese kind of bathrobe called yukata. Comfy!
But if you have
some more time and want to see more of Sweden:
Midsummer in
Dalarna: They just do it the best. Violins, flowers, dancing, strawberries.. and
some rain.
Riksgränsen: Skip
the plane and take the twenty-something hour long train ride. Have some wine, look
at the mooses outside of the window and talk to the others. You are most likely
all going to the same place. Go in May or June to see the midnight sun.
Ferry boats: Not
technically Sweden I guess but very Swedish. Take the boat to Estonia or
Finland and back. The Christmas fair in Tallinn is nice.
