Hi T
I don't know so much about Sweden, but I do know that beer
and alcohol is not cheap there and you have to find some
kind of drug store to get it. Swedes are known fore going to
Denmark to get pissed, because the beer is much cheaper
here. I don't know the beerprices in Sweden, but I Dk
beerprices varies from ╜-1 us dollar. So it must be more
expensive than that.
I hope you can use the information.
Best wishes
the dane
Hi all.
I have done some checking. Below links good entrences for
information:
Stockholm:
http://www.event.stoinfo.se/
http://www.stoinfo.se/england/index.html
No Fireworks at Stockholm Water Festival (Metro april 27)
Laser shows at castle and Grand hotel instead
Sweden:

Restaurant beer is expesive about $5. Buy in chop ($1) and
drink in nature but take the can back. We DONT litter in
Sweden.
Longest day is June 21 (Bandit Leaders birthday)
don't go to Lappland on Midummer which is the third Friday
in June. Th biggest and most traditional Misummer
celebrations take place in Dalarna (province) and you can
goto Rattvik, Nusnas or any town around the lake Siljan to
participate in this drinking fest wheer we pretend to be
frogs leaping around the Maypole. Liquor you buy at
"systembolaget" but remeber it is closed on Holidays and
weekends and like the postings above mention to buy alcohol
at a bar is sually around $5-6 for a beer. Of course this
is real beert and no budweiser stuff. I don't know how long
you'll be in Sweden for but if you have time I would check
out Stockholm and the region of Scania as well. Lappland is
nice for hiking and out doors life. Be aware of the
mosquitos and enjoy the Allemansratten law which allows you
to camp anywhere, as long as it is not naybody's back yard,
and as long as youleave the place in the same way you found
it. Have fun!
Now I have found the most important, the link to Stockholm
Water Festival August 6-14 ("english" button down,right):
http://www.waterfestival.se/
and as mentioned: no fireworks this year but laser shows in
the waters between the Royal Castle and Grand Hotel.
Instead it will be hughe firwork Dec 31.

Forget post 4 and 5. 6 is the correct one.
Go to Finland instead.
Everyone keeps telling me costs a fortune! I was told
around ú4/5 per pint. Shorts are expensive too! Instead, by
a bottle of Vodka for ú22 or so pounds! Job done!
Have a good trip, if you're there in July/August might see
u around.......

I would recommend you to stay at hostels ("vandrarhem" in Swedish). They are usually very nice and quite cheap, and a lot of Swedish families stay there. Check out the site mentioned in post 2 (stfturist.se). If you join STF (a Swedish hostel organisation), you┤ll get a discount on the price. I would recommend you to book the hostels in advance, especially in the larger cities and in the Stockholm Archipelago (which you really must see).
Most forms of services (such as eating at restaurants) is quite expensive in Sweden, so if you can make your own food, it will be much cheaper.
The cost of beer varies a lot in Sweden, and it┤s often more expensive in the countryside, compared to Stockholm (where the competition is tough).
The cheapest way to travel in Sweden is by bus (I believe). Train prices also varies a lot, depending on if it┤s a "red departure".
Don'tgo to Sweden! Peopple there are mean, I know, I used to
live there and be one! Go somewhere else and leave those
ignorant bastards to rot in their own stupidity.
Where in Scandinavia is the most wildest party? Is it during
Midsummer,the Water Festival or some other city there? Also
which country has the lowest alcohol prices?
you sorry idiot! Just because those Peopple boys were mean
to you doesn't mean that all Swedes are like that. Next
time you visit the Leather Club, try this phrase instead:
Piska mig sσ hσrt att det svartnar f÷r mina ÷gon!
That'll do the trick!
My experience is that the people of Sweden are really nice
and friendly, especially in the south of Sweden. It might
be a bit difficult to make friends at first but they're
only shy...
Enjoy !
Hi!
Don┤t go to Lapland for midsummer! Go to ╓land. If you
don┤t know what ╓land is, I can tell you; It┤s Swedens own
little Mallorca. For the hardest partying you should bring
a tent, some friends and a lot of vodka. There are some
good camping spaces on ╓land, a couple of kilometres
outside Borgholm. So, now you know exactly what to do on
midsummers eve! Otherwise you could always go to Stockholm
and travel by boat (a couple of hours trip) to the
"skΣrgσrd" (I don┤t know the english word for it). It┤s
pretty much the same, bring a tent. M÷ja or Sandhamn are
two popular islands for midsummer partying. Good luck!
