Stockholm
Things we love:
Swedes treat alcohol like a plant does water.
They love to eat “surströmming”. That’s fermented herring to you and I.
They hate conflict and avoid it at all costs – the only thing they are guaranteed to rise to is if you board the T-Bana (their underground) without letting them off first, livid!
Abba. Nuff said.
Ikea… debatable, but sometimes you cannot beat it.
Things we wish we’d known:
St Lucia is a nationally celebrated saint, and despite the fact that she is a saint because she tore out her own eyes to avoid being seduced by a man, little children dress up like her every winter. BarChick’s next Halloween outfit sorted!
Your card is working, you’re not that drunk (bankcards go in the cashpoints upside down)
Those in need can call a “condom ambulance” and a van will deliver a 10-pack of condoms to your door.. safety first.

Lydmar HotelThis isn’t the building you initially think it is… BarChick walked into a random office, but they acted like they get that a lot. Go round the corner to the smaller entrance and you’re there! This is the perfect place to Read More |

Nobis Hotel - Gold BarThis bar at the 5 star Nobis Hotel is about a year old and has already won Sweden’s best bar after just 6 months, good start! Sweden’s answer to The Savoy’s Beaufort Bar was designed by a Japanese artist, and Read More |

Orangeriet BarThis place is beautiful inside and out. Perched right on the river, its conservatory style glass walls mean you can see all sorts as you relax. With a nice big fire in winter and lots of comfy chairs and sofas Read More |

Story Hotel BarDon’t let the ‘multi coloured kids style menu’s put you off, the drinks here exceed the quality of the design tenfold. BarChick developed a little crush for the award winning barman, who was both young and eager to please. Nothing Read More |
