Stockholm


Greenhippo

Stockholm is one of the world’s most beautiful capitals. Built on 14 islands around one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved mediaeval city centres, the Swedish capital is superbly positioned, with stunning and extremely varied scenery in every direction. Stockholm offers a wealth of museums, theatres, sights, attractions and events, whether your interest lies in history, art, opera, modern dance, traditional handicraft, contemporary design or virtually anything else.

During recent years, Stockholm has become a favorite amongst gays due to the explosion of trends, culture and fashion all having to do with the gay community. The rule of supply and demand definitely applies, and the demand keeps growing with every year.

Stockholm has tons to offer and a spectacular evening out doesn't have to end after the avant-garde dance performance. Many trendy restaurants offer great food and a gay-friendly atmosphere and can be found all over the city.

Stockholm has no gay enclave as such, but welcoming and relaxed gay and gay-friendly establishments are scattered in this city, and rainbow flags fly high in most of Stockholm’s central districts.
 
The greatest concentration of gay bars and clubs is to be found in two areas: the Södermalm district, (mainly around Mariatorget and the Södra train station) and in Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town, where the original medieval town springs to life in the cobblestone streets and the stunning buildings.
Södermalm is where you’ll find, for example, the gay club Side Track, as well as the SM/leather clubs LASH (for women) and SLM (for men) – if that’s your taste …. In the Old Town, Torget is a firm favourite among gay bars, with different themes each evening. For dancing queens, a unique event is the Sunday tea party on the three levels of the moored old steamship Patricia from whose upper deck you can admire the lights of Stockholm while taking a rest from the dance-floor. Or try the intimate club Connection at the Cattelin's eatery. Then of course the more male-dominated Lino club, just west of the Old Town, which has four bars, three dancefloors and a big outdoor terrace.
