The coolest jazz club in town plays host to some of best international acts around, which is enough to recommend this place in itself. But even better is that when the last trumpet blares Fasching turns into a dance club, playing everything from the guilty pleasures of the 70s to the hottest dance tracks of today.

Every year Stockholmers wait for Trädgården to open for the summer. Located under Skanstull Bridge on the edge of Södermalm, this is where you drink beer from plastic cups, dance all night, groove to live shows, and mix with the coolest hipsters in town. It’s an incredibly popular spot, sweaty and crowded – and about the best fun you can have if dancing the night away under the midnight sun gets your motor running.

Get the party started before a night out in Stockholm with these drinking trips.

When the weather turns colder the ever popular summer club Trädgården turns into Under Bron (Under the Bridge), moving to a two-story wooden house where top Swedish and international DJs spin house and techno until 5am. And when we say popular we mean popular; the lines are long and the place is packed so get there early if you don’t feel like cooling your heels.

If New York crossed with Berlin is your jam – head here.

One of the poshest clubs in town, Sture is the ultimate Stureplan club, where the beautiful people of Östermalm (and Östermalm-wannabes) gather in their finery to enjoy four separate spaces spread across two glamorous floors.
