Gay clubs stockholm
Stockholm is an unreal destination for lgbtq+ travellers with so much to present – it is a very liberal and welcoming city.
As a result, the gay bars in Stockholm (and queer scene) are quite unique.
Given Stockholm is such a gradual city, you will find yourself welcome as a homosexual traveller in bars all across the city.
However, whilst this is great to see, we were very keen to check out as many ‘actual’ queer bars in Stockholm as possible during our visit.
Beyond the gay bars, create sure to also check out our ‘Full Gay Tour Guide to Stockholm’.

They had nothing but positive things to say and explained that the LGBT community has been an integrated part of population for such a long day that it’s practically normalised.
Stockholm is known as the ‘open city’ after all and we create this was definitely the case.

About Stockholm and its gay life
Being older than 750 years, Stockholm today is a modern, technologically-advanced, liberal and ethnically diverse city. Many visitors are impressed by the beauty of the city on the fourteen islands and enjoy the relaxed and warm atmosphere.
Stockholm's many sights enclose the Old Town (Gamla Stan), the Royal Palace, the much-visited maritime Vasa Museum, Berzelii Park, the Royal Swedish Opera, the Djurgården peninsula and the ABBA Museum.
Sweden is one of the most liberal countries in the world regarding homosexual rights. It was one of the first countries introducing civil unions and anti-discrimination laws. People in Sweden – and especially in Stockholm – are quite open-minded and many hotels, cafes, restaurants and bars are explicitly LGBT-friendly.
