Malar Paviljongen Undoubtedly the coolest place to hang out in the city, Malar Paviljongen is a floating bar/restaurant/café with plenty of style. If the weather's remotely warm then the place will be absolutely packed with gorgeousness - standing room only. There's no booking, so plan to hang out a bit for a drink or two if you're going there to eat. REALStockholm has had the pleasure of having a bite to eat here and can very heartily recommend it... the food is first class. find on map |

Stockholm Pride Stockholm Pride is one of the largest festivals in the city and seems to be growing year on year. The city hosted EuroPride in 2008 which brought the international spotlight onto what was already the largest pride celebration in the Nordic region. The festival offers a parade, a park event and plenty of cultural events over the festival period. It's entirely not-for-profit and through its Solidarity fund it makes donations to other pride events around the world... which we think is all rather fabulous! find on map |
