That's what I figured. Thanks for confirming. I'm leaning towards booking the trip in June.

Anyone else have any info about my question regarding a Weekday proxy?

even if I'm not Swedish, as a fellow Scandinavian I can positively say that the best time of year to go is during the summer.

[Lemurian]

sorry for hijacking this topic, but i'm going to be having a placement in Stockholm from upcoming March 'till end of June. If someone knows a place where I can stay please send me a PM. I can pay around 4000SEK a month and don't mind sharing an apartment.

Cheers.

and oh yes, if you hook me up i will proxy the hell out of sweden for you.

@captain5640 They have a store on Götgatan I think, there are some other weekday stores around the city though. Also I would recommend going in the summer for sure.

@lemurian have a look at http://www.blocket.se/stockholm/lagenheter?ca=11&w=1&cg=3020&st=u&m=131

Thanks! Found myself a place just one metro stop from Sodermalm. I'm really excited to go next week.

I already found a lot stuff to do the first week; there's a modern art museum and the photography museum seems to be cool as well.

what's some great places to eat on a budget in Stockholm?

tre kronor has good kebab. walk into any cafe for a great sandwich. Max Frisco burger is good. Pretty much any pizza place (get the ham, banana, curry or the shrimp, mushroom, and tabasco)

Hötorgshallen is an underground market with amazing food. Really cool place

hey, so i am studying abroad in stockholm this fall semester from september to december. i was wondering what were the areas and places a 20 year old american who is studying in stockholm for a semester should go to hang out. i have never been to stockholm before and speak zero swedish. if anyone has any advice in terms of living in stockholm that would be great. i am very excited for my trip and i am just trying to get the most out of it.

A place you shouldn't miss is Berns for the people and music (in their basement, the club 2.35:1).

Living is a harder one, it's nearly impossible to find an apartment for hire. Check out these links for hiring:

looking for a barber recommendation in stockholm central that won't cost me my house. preferably someone that can offer advice but knows how to cut by the book. can pay 200-300kr at worst. any idea?

[darkanimal]

this thread needs to be updated. i'll be in stockholm 5.28 for 6 days. just looking for nightlife places and good music scene. cheers!

[pikko80]

@darkanimal, what kind of nightlife are you loking for?

underground technoparties or just some nice food and bar hopping?

[darkanimal]

hey pikko80. prefer the underground. but cool bar hopping is great too. just not tourist trap areas. tnx in advance

try underbrun/tradgarden

[pikko80]

trädgården can be really good but it can also be really bad, you sgould go there on friday for their daytime sessions party, nina kravitz and pepe bradock is playin, you gotta be there early as fuck though, they open at 4 in the afternoon an the que can be raw as fuck...

 

F12/terassen can be nice, always a good party but the crowd can be pretty uncool.

 

i Know lindström is playing that weekend at som semilegal club in the outskirts of town.

i can check that out if you like that norwegian space disco.

 

berns(but only their basement) 2:35:1 is great with alot of international dj:s and one of the citys best soundsystems.

 

if you want quality cocktails and good barambience you should check out Marie levau, Tjoget and Häktet all in the Södermalm area of town, all great food and cocktails, this part is all in all the best place to hang out in.

 

can see if i find something else worth mentioning in a while...

 

Where are you gonna be staying? 

 

or you can simply da as me, go to copenhagen this weekend for the Distortion festival!

[darkanimal]

thanks so much guys! those are very helpful. i will have a better understanding of the area, directions once i get there this tuesday, so i can plan accordingly. pretty much down with anything. i am travelling with my gf, and we're staying at her grandma's house. i believe it's 20 minutes by bus from the city.
