Stockholm Gay Guide

Stockholm, the capital of ABBA country,  is one of the most welcoming European cities for the LGBT community and a  gay location featuring a diverse and colorful gay scene, ideal destination not only to gay couples but single gay travelers as well. 

There are no specific gay districts and neighborhoods in Stockholm, but most places of interest, cafes, restaurants, bars and clubs are mainly situated in the areas of Södermalm and Gamla Stan in the Old town. The big and active gay community of Stockholm resulted in the proper organization of the gay nightlife, leading to the creation of several gay meeting points around the city!

Stockholm is a big gay hotspot, however, there are some bars, cafes, and clubs attracting only gay customers. These hotspots are usually located around the city's center! Gay Stockholmers are frequent visitors of local gay bars and clubs, but  Stockholm's wide cultural acceptance of homosexuality means they're often as comfortable in straight clubs. 

Gay tourists can find a variety of places to visit, from exclusive men's bathhouses & saunas, cruising areas to private cinema lounges.
During summer months, there are many traditional open-air waterside bars and cafes, with fantastic city views,  perfect for relaxing and enjoying an ice cold drink under the sun!
