Here you will find ideas for activities from different themes. Each of the following

programs is designed to make the perfect three or four days in the rainbow capital. By

selecting your favorite senses, you can create your very own Stockholm experience.

See - Antiques & Vintage

Seeing is believing. So don’t just take our word for it, discover the beauty of Stockholm

with your own eyes. From ancient Vasa to the green valleys and dense pine forest of the

Woodland Cemetery. From the beer sticky and rocking floor on the party boat Patricia to

the flowing champagne at Operakällaren.

Hear – Arts & Culture

If a tree falls in the forest you’re bound to hear it – because in Stockholm nature is ever

present. But if there ever was a sound that represents Stockholm, it would be the sound

of rushing water.

Feel – Romance

Breathtaking naked statues stretch towards the skies in an oasis just north of Stockholm.

There is something about Millesgården that is downright romantic and somewhat erotic.

Just like a winter stroll through Old Towns cobblestone alleyways, where the houses

leans in on the pedestrians, or a sunny lukewarm walk along the city’s quays and

bridges, with someone you fancy at your side.

Taste – Pink Christmas

Stockholm turns into something out of a faeries/fairy tale during Christmas time. Markets

at every street corner, the taste of mulled wine and gingerbread on your lips and the

smell of honey roasted almonds and Christmas tree wherever you go. But most

important: Stockholm gay community’s much anticipated celebration of Pink Christmas.

Touch – Design

Some say that the success of Swedish design is due to focus on clean, cool and

innovative forms that appeal to people all over the world. Find out for yourself. From

Berns Hotel, the chic art deco boutique property that calls itself the ‘Designer Hotel for

people tired of designer hotels’ to the flagship stores of brands such as Efva Attling, Acne

and Cheap Monday.

STOCKHOLM GAY & LESBIAN NETWORK

In order to attract the LGBT segment, a destination has to subscribe to three core values:

openness, diversity and respect. Stockholm is a city which features all three, and it was on

the basis of these values that the Stockholm Gay & Lesbian Network was formed. The

Stockholm Gay & Lesbian Network is a project within Stockholm Visitors Board which works

to market and develop Stockholm as an interesting and attractive destination.

The Stockholm Gay & Lesbian Network functions as a network-based partnership

cooperating closely with the travel industry in Stockholm and special interest organizations.

The network started in 2005 and works in three year cycles. The project is also responsible

for www.visitstockholm.com/gay-lesbian, organizes educational tours for the travel trade

and the media, advertises in targeted media, carries out PR work and participates in fairs,

travel shows and events.
