Top 5 After Dark Adventures in Sweden
- Old Town: Stockholm's quaint Old Town (known as Gamla Stan to locals) gets a little magic sprinkled over it as dusk settles. Wander the charming, cobbled alleys, stop at pubs that date back to medieval times, browse at market stalls full of handmade crafts and slip into cool jazz clubs after the sun sets.
- Aquatic Ales: Although Stockholm has no shortage of bars, clubs and restaurants, there's nothing quite like being on the water in such a beautiful city. Stockholm's waterfront is home to several floating bars - located on pontoons and even old ships - so after a day of sightseeing, why not wind down on the water.
- When in Sweden: There is nothing quite like the northern European trend of Schlager music. Catchy and unashamedly commercial, singing along to Eurovision-esque tunes in a Schlager bar may not be the coolest thing to do, but it certainly provides insight into Swedish culture. Come on, you know you want to!
- Northern Lights: Heading north to the Arctic region of Sweden offers the best chance to catch the mesmerising phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis. Dancing, glittering, coloured lights skip through the sky creating a nightly visual feast of kaleidoscopic proportions.
- Chill Out: With the bar, walls, chairs and glasses being carved from ice, Stockholm's Absolut Ice Bar is a bone-chillingly good gimmick. Put on the provided parka and gloves, sit in your ice chair and sip on cool cocktails made with Absolut. While not cheap, it's well worth checking out.
