A Guide to Stockholm's Nightlife
Stureplan
In Stockholm, Stureplan is the symbol of luxury and indulgence. This is where the young, rich, famous, and trendy hang out. Lines are long for the most popular clubs, and many have selective entry. Arrive early.
Södermalm
Rock, reggae, rockabilly, bohemian, electronic, gay, or lesbian. Södermalm blends all styles. This is a more relaxed, less expensive alternative to the luxury of Stureplan. Nightlife spots are primarily in Slussen, Mariatorget, Nytorget, and Medborgarplatsen.
Gamla Stan
Nightlife in Gamla Stan is characterised by small, intimate pubs with traditional interiors. Here you will find several bars with an older scene and offering live music; bars with a younger crowd have popped up in recent years.
LGBTQ
Stockholm has no specifically gay neighbourhood. Here you can show your love openly. Locales flying rainbow flags are sprinkled throughout the city, but most gay bars, clubs, and restaurants are in Gamla Stan and Södermalm.
