National Day on 6th June is also another period festival in Stockholm which allow to feel lappish for a week-end or as me for ever now.

Stureplan is the place to be for business or nightclubing (personnaly i'm no smoker & no drinker) but it easily to find a famous place  for a cocktail by asking to swedish people who talks a very good english.My favorite nightlife scene is BERNS  located close Stureplan with an open terassbar, modern music and the advantage to meet Stockholm gilded youth well-educated and ready to talk until dawn of the archipelago and sweden culture.
