Queer travel expert Jack Kenworthy turns 250+ city adventures into your guide for safe, vibrant, and inclusively fabulous global journeys.
Gay Stockholm is a city of a captivating mix of modern innovation juxtapositions with old-world history, all served up in chic Scandinavian style. Quite possibly the most open city in the world, there is a lot to love here – no matter who you love.
For a city of only a million inhabitants, Stockholm – and Sweden – is a surprisingly influential powerhouse of music, design, fashion, and technology.
With its finger on the pulse of global innovation and trends, it’s no wonder companies like Spotify and H&M were started here. Progressive ideas are encouraged here, and today the atmosphere here is open to diversity and welcoming to everyone.
The result is Stockholm is one of the most liberal countries in the world in regard to LGBT+ rights, and we were pleasantly surprised by how many cafes, hotels, bars, restaurants, and other spaces were explicitly gay-friendly.
There are several major draw cards to Stockholm, including its exciting architecture, world-class restaurants, fabulous shopping, and trendy nightlife – all while never being too far from nature. This is the city where the lake and sea meet, after all. As well as the culture, the cafes are the other pillar of Stockholm life.
Fika, the Swedish concept of a coffee and cake break, is more than just something you do – it’s a state of mind. Embrace that at one of the many quirky cafes here, taking your time over your coffee and a huge cinnamon bun – and if you are using a hookup app, well: the local Swedes will surely appreciate the effort to emerge yourself in their culture.
Frequently referred to as the Gay Capital of the Nordics – a title we think only Copenhagen could challenge – you’ll surely be impressed with how open-minded people are here. Just don’t expect to find any gay districts in Stockholm; everybody is welcome everywhere – although most queer cafes, restaurants, and clubs are found in hipster Södermalm and Gamla Stan (Old Town).
In such an inclusive city, it’s no wonder, however, that many in the LGBT+ community here no longer feel the need to hang out in ‘gay spaces’ and can be found mixing and mingling across a broad range of nightlife venues in the city – and we suggest you follow their lead.
Trust us, such acceptance is liberating, to say the least, and we wish the entire world could be just like this. Even better public shows of affection are totally acceptable, so you can feel truly able to express your love however you wish.
Accepting, beautiful, modern. exciting and wonderful queer: What’s not to love about Gay Stockholm. And all those cute Swedish boys, argh, well … Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight (or any time of day, to be honest – we aren’t picky).
In this article we will cover...
Attractions in Gay Stockholm
If we know one thing about Stockholm, it’s that it is cool as hell. And not just temperature-wise (although everything you’ve heard about Scandinavian winters is true), but cool in everything it has to offer. Cool culture, cool people, cool cafes and bars. And while this is certainly true, Stockholm it’s also welcoming, fun, dynamic and endlessly fascinating.
Whether you’re into gallery-ing, partying, eating or all of the above, you’ll find something to love in Stockholm. Among the gorgeous historic streets of the city, you’ll find tons of museums and galleries housing Viking treasures, contemporary art, Abba memorabilia, and design pieces.
Naturally, being gay does not define which attraction most of us will want to see in each city, and most queer travelers will simply want to check out the top things to see in Stockholm during the day!
Stockholm is a very safe, tolerant and progressive city, and gay travelers in Sweden do not need to take any precautions concerning public displays of affection. Rest assured, you will have no issues exploring this beautiful and diverse city, and even the essential list of things to do will keep visitors entertained for at least a couple of days.
Whether you’re spending a weekend, a week or a month here, it’ll definitely be time well spent. There are masses of amazing things to do in Stockholm, whatever your holiday style is. Lovers of the outdoors will adore the fact that the city is spread along islands at the Baltic sea, effortlessly incorporating the ever-changing water.
This glorious location means you’re never far from nature and have a chance to swim in a lake, walk in the nearby forests or hop on a ferry to an island.
If exploring history is more your speed, then Stockholm’s got plenty of cultural heritage to offer you. Its historic center is one of the best-preserved on the continent, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find more charming cobbled streets.
Then there’s the wealth of museums and galleries on offer. You might want to see an impeccably salvaged warship from the 16th century or the original ABBA costumes – you can do both here, as well as much more.
We can’t pretend that it’s a cheap place, however, and with this much to see and do, it can be difficult to prioritize. We know you’ll want to soak up as much as you possibly can, which is why we’d recommend a tourist card to help you save money and time.
Especially in a city as packed full of attractions as Stockholm, using a tourist card is one of the best ways to see as many of these as possible without breaking the bank. This is where the Stockholm Pass comes in, a discount card that helps you see much more and go much further than you otherwise could.
My my, how can I resist you, Stockholm?
Top Highlights Of Stockholm
Royal Palace
This enormous Baroque-style Royal Palace is filled with gorgeous rooms and five museums, all while still being the King’s official residence so that you could catch a glimpse of Swedish royalty. With 608 rooms, this is the biggest palace in the world that’s still being used by the monarchy, and as you can imagine, it’s incredibly lavish both inside and out.
Ornate gilded cornices decorate high ceilings, a silver throne looms over the Hall of State, and the Armory is full of armor (of course!), costumes and elaborate carriages.
Gamla Stan
Stunning Gamla Stan has stood at the heart of Stockholm since the 13th century and has been incredibly well preserved. Gabled buildings painted yellow, gold and orange line atmospheric cobblestone lanes. Famously, Mårten Trotzigs Gränd narrows to a teeny 90 centimeters.
The area stretches across three islands. It’s a gorgeous place to simply wander through, getting a sense of what Stockholm was like when it was one of the main ports on the Hanseatic trade route. In summer, the houses seem to glow in the sunshine; on a snowy winter’s day, Gamla Stan is astonishingly picturesque (although those steep streets are harder to negotiate!).
Amongst the unique frescos, you’ll find various attractions, including Stockholm Cathedral, the Nobel Museum, and the enormous Royal Palace.
Skogskyrkogården
Known in English as ‘The Woodland Cemetery’, this beautiful World Heritage Site is both moving and architecturally fascinating. Here is where life and death come together, as the tombstones rest quietly amidst green grass under pine trees.
It was built between 1917 and 1920 after two young architects won a competition to design a new cemetery. The cemetery consists of a pastoral landscape, a grove of pine trees, a large pond, a meditation hill, and chapels and a crematorium in a functionalist style.
Every detail was designed by the architects, and it reflects the development of architecture from Nordic Classicism to functionalism.
City Hall
The 106-meter-high red brick tower of Stockholm’s City Hall is an integral part of the city’s skyline, and the golden Three Crowns at the top have soared above the waterfront since its completion in 1923. While it is still the workplace for civil servants and politicians, Stadshuset is probably best known for hosting the Nobel banquet in its lavish Blue Hall.
Similarly, lavish events are held in the Golden Hall, which has 18 million gold mosaic tiles (home décor inspiration, anyone?). Guided tours are the best (and only!) way to see around the interior of the building; you should also make time to stroll around the neighboring park. For an extra fee, climb to the top of the tower and drink at the incredible views.
For fans of Sweden’s most-loved Eurovision entry, this is an absolute must-do. A sensory abundance, interactive exhibits and an amazing collection of memorabilia is a gift that keeps on giving. You really will walk in and dance out.
Even if it were only memorabilia here, we’d still enthusiastically recommend it, as seeing the platform boots, sequined jumpsuits and instruments in real life are fascinating and really puts the band’s achievements in a historical context. But this isn’t only about looking at things; you also get to take part!
You can join the group as their 5th member in a hologram experience, trying on a virtual costume; you can even wear a replica of the shiny outfits they used to do for their performances.
A gorgeous example of regal architecture on a private island – Drottningholm is not only absolutely beautiful and well-preserved; it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site to boot. Lavish salons, ornate chambers, a golden library, atmospheric galleries… all are on show to the public, while outside, there are the famous Baroque Gardens and Chinese Pavilion.
Located in the hipster Södermalm area, behind the unique glass facade and the brick walls from the former metalworks, you’ll find a hip spot where exotic flavors combined with updated Nordic classics – including meatballs – tell a new story. Traditionalists are dammed; this is modern food for the 21st century!
Stockholm’s archipelago is easily one of the most beautiful coastlines we have experienced, and some of it feels so secluded and remote that it’s hard to believe a capital city is only minutes away. Cute red houses dot the hillsides of the thousands of islands, the wind rustles in the grasses and leaves, and deep blue water laps the many shores.
You can enjoy all of these sights from the decks of a classic archipelago boat, built in the first half of the 20th century, for two and a half hours. A passionate and knowledgeable guide will add to the experience by telling you the history of the area and the different sights you pass along the way.
The spectacular scenery combined with the interesting stories gives you a real taste of Sweden, particularly how people live outside the capital.
Cycling around the compact city center is a lovely way to see the beautiful streets, pretty buildings, and meandering coastline. This engaging bike tour takes that cycling experience and makes it even better. A local guide takes you around the main sights, making sure you don’t miss anything and telling you the stories behind all the places you glide past.
After meeting in the middle of the city, you’ll spend two hours exploring Gamla Stan, the islands surrounding it and the national port. It’s great to be able to ask questions about everything you see (no more Googling obscure facts!), and your guide is sure to tell you even more than you expected! The only difficult thing about the tour will be giving your bike back at the end.
Vasa Museum
The enduring appeal of this popular museum lies in its time-capsule-like quality. The 69-meter warship Vasa sank in front of hundreds of onlookers on its maiden voyage in 1628, dealing Sweden’s economy and navy a heavy blow.
It’s now the striking centerpiece of the Vasa Museum, which is easily findable because of the three tall masts on the roof. How did a ship go from a wreck to the middle of a museum? Thanks go both to the pollution in the Baltic sea that managed to kill wood-eating micro-organisms for the 333 years Vasa was on the seabed, and to a painstaking salvaging process in the early 1960s.
Gay Things To Do In Stockholm
A club for gay men, who are hairy, bearded, a bit on the weightier side and who often like other men with the same features. They organize plenty of get-togethers throughout the year with a generally mellow atmosphere, for example, pub evenings, an annual Christmas party, visits the theater, picnics, sauna parties, etc.
Their aim is to provide an opportunity for those not comfortable with the general gay world to meet each other and have an enjoyable time together, so if this sounds like a good fit for you, why not take a look at their upcoming events?
Cinema Queer International Film Festival
A queer film festival held in Stockholm every year in late September helps across multiple venues and nights. A chance for a more sophisticated LGBT night out with a variety of thought-provoking offerings covering a wide variety of genres and topics.
A fun tour company started by Erik and Sofia, offering itineraries specifically designed for the LGBT traveler in Gothenburg and Stockholm. They are working with and for the local LGBTQ+ community to help bring people together, end discrimination and tell Sweden’s queer history.
Their services include various queer-centric day tours, tailor-made trips, weddings and events and more to ensure you experience Gay Sweden in the most fabulous possible way!
A week-long salute to diversity and openness with shows, live music, theatre, art, workshops, and seminars culminates in a rainbow-filled Pride parade where over half a million members of the queer community plus allies, friends and family dance, march or strut through the gorgeous streets of Stockholm.
The diverse crowd at Pride is such a heartening reflection of the open-minded Swedish society, and the whole country gets involved in the movement. It’s always been a highly-regarded event, with plenty of politicians in attendance. Sweden’s former Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt took part in 2014, two years before Justin Trudeau made headlines for doing the same thing in Toronto.
Sweden’s Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces even performed an Elvis song in 2019! It’s a rebellious, welcoming, colorful celebration of all things LGBT, but with a steely determination at its core. Stockholm Pride isn’t taking the threat to equal rights lightly and knows that events like this one are part of a wider movement.
It could look different for every attendee, depending on your preferences. Some of us love to dance from dusk till dawn and then to dusk again; others like to discuss issues of the day; others want to explore a city when it’s covered in rainbow flags.
Whatever you want to get from Stockholm Pride, you’re sure to find it. As with every Pride event, there is no right or wrong way to experience it. It’s about doing what you want, finding your own space to be your fabulous queer self, and meeting like-minded people.
Gay-Friendly and Gay Hotels in Stockholm
As you would expect in such a progressive country, pretty much every hotel and hostel in Stockholm can be considered gay-friendly – after all, being gay-friendly is not all about upscale luxury, but about providing friendly and open service and welcoming everyone with open arms!
Having said that, everyone likes to be surrounded by people with common interests, and as such, there are a few popular hotels in Stockholm that are known hot spots for gay travelers to stay!
No hotels are exclusively for gay men anymore – a sign of the liberal times in Sweden – but others are still a crucial part of the gay scene because of their location and history, and some hotels are just known for being exceptionally welcoming of gay guests.
The following hotels in Stockholm are only the most popular with gay travelers and can all be relied on for an extraordinary stay, but there are hundreds of other hotels in Stockholm if you don’t find quite what you are looking for.

Gay Nightlife in Stockholm
We are not even sure where to start, as the wild gay nightlife in Stockholm took us by surprise! Sure it is not the best in Europe, but Gay Stockholm is up there and has far more than we expected for a city of this size!
If you become as overwhelmed as we were, the only thing you need to know is the fashionable Södermalm district, and Gamla Stan (Old Town) is the unofficial Stockholm gay area and the hub of LGBT nightlife here …but by no means the only place to spend the night with your global queer family.
Stockholm has something for everyone, from utterly over-the-top glitter queer club parties to relaxed pubs and Scandinavian chic bars, and that is without exploring all the LGBT-friendly options.
If none of these gay venues seem for you, remember many gays in Stockholm don’t feel the need to segregate themselves to the ‘gay ghetto’, and because Stockholm’s nightlife is very mixed and you can meet queer people almost everywhere you go.
Narrow streets meet open minds here. No matter how you choose to explore Gay Stockholm, you are unlikely to experience any issues in what is one of the most gay-friendly cities in Europe.

Gay Sauna in Stockholm
One place where Grindr and other gay hook-up apps really made a difference worldwide is the closing of saunas and bathhouses.
While other European destinations such as Vienna, Brussels, Milan, and Lisbon have managed to buck the trend and continue to have a thriving gay sauna scene in Stockholm, this is not the case, and today Rainbow Sauna is your only option – if you choose to go, make sure your expectations are low.
