various: Gay Sweden

various: Seaside summer hubs

by Sjalen

Sweden undergoes a transformation summertime when people get into full party swing after the long winter. Little pretty coastal towns are often the scenes for all the fun: Pretty Båstad is a town in the south west, known for its Swedish Open tennis in July. This means nightlife here is full of Stockholmers and prices are therefore higher than many other places. The Gem of the Baltic is Visby on the island of Gotland, where Snäck and other "institutions" keep you busy through the night. Again, the whole of Gotland is more expensive than average in summer due to Stockholm holiday makers but great fun. The island of Öland with its nightlife capital Borgholm is another definate party hub in the south. Halmstad is another summer favourite on the southern west coast. It has a long, sandy beach where a lot goes on, and Roxette front figure Per Gessle having his own hotel there doesn't make it...

Stockholm, Göteborg (Gothenburg) and Malmö all have great nightlife all year round and cater for all tastes as do most cities of decent size or with a university (Lund, Uppsala, Umeå, Sundsvall...). See my respective pages for more detailed info.

The midnight sun

by sim1

The midnight sun, something I would love to see. Maybe some day I will, but this is the closest I have gotten so far.Because Sweden is so far north, the sun stays up for a long long time in the summer. A strange experience when you are not used to that. The days are extremely long, and I got confused when I just arrived in Sweden, if I was looking at the sunset, or if it was already time for the sunrise. If you get to the Polar Circle you will be able to see the midnight sun. But this picture was taken close to Sälen, in the middle of Sweden. You'll need to go up far more norh to be able to see the midnight sun.This picture was taken while we were on a hiking trip in the fjällen (mountain area) of Sweden. I couldn't resist to get up around 2 in the morning when I noticed the beautiful sunrise. Amazing light, hahahaha, bitterly cold, but sooo wonderful! The day doesn't seem to want to...

It's partey time baby

by Maline

Like other Scandinavians (to add to your prejudice) Swedes do know how to party. I mean, we know how to drink a lot of booze. Yep, if you are from a country where alcohol is consumed in modesty or not at all, you will get a different perspective here. You have a choice of spots if you want to go out partying. There are pubs, bars, discos and clubs. Generally the dress code is very relaxed, jeans should be ok, exept for a few really happening places in the big cities, mainly Stockholm. The most common drink is beer , order a "stor stark" and you'll get 40-50 centilitres of draft beer. Other drinks are cocktails, shots, wine and cider. Cider comes in a great variety most resembling alco pops.
