Visit medieval Stockholm, sample a smörgåsbord, then get a 'fika' fix

Rough at the edges rock club
Debaser
ClubsThis archetypal rock club – located under a bridge in an old distillery – is open seven nights a week with live acts and DJs, as well as a wild dancefloor.
Get a taste of genuine Sweden
Pelikan

Major attractions
Vasamuseet
