As well as ice hockey and shuffleboard, Swedes love a game of boule, which will get your muscles moving on a mild, long Stockholm summer’s night. Most of Boulebar’s locations in the Swedish capital come with a waterside view, opening up just as spring lumbers into summer. Boulebar Rålambshov, tucked in a corner of the park of the same name, looks out from Kungsholmen island onto Lake Mälaren. The staff serve up excellent French food while you wait for an available pitch.
We’re all about the positives here, but sometimes you have to face the elephant in the room head-on. Yes, going out in Stockholm is an expensive business, but this is common knowledge at this point. After all, you pay for what you get, and what you get on a night out in Stockholm is caught up in the excitement of one of Europe’s most magnificent cities.
The medieval cobbled streets and waterfront terraces of Stockholm are home to a litany of beautiful attractions and delicious restaurants, but the Swedish capital more than holds its own when it comes to the party as well. From the central islands to nearby suburbs, finding somewhere for a tipple or three isn’t hard in Stockholm. So yes, it is pricey, but we’d happily pay more to drink with these breathtaking views. The best bars in Stockholm? Let’s go.
