Like eating out? Look this way!
WHILE I'm speaking about eating out - there's another site you should visit. There's a card you can get for 295sek which will give you and a friend 71 places to pick from - and only pay for 1 person. Like that equation? Visit this website!
You HAVE to take advantage of this!!
Starting last week it's been the national week for restaurants in Sweden, also called Krogveckan in Swedish. Wanna know how this benefits us? You can choose between 119 best restaurants in Stockholm (or pick another city closer to where you are) and eat a 2 course meal for 200sek, no matter what the prices for the dishes are originally. Now, you might think 200sek is still quite expensive, but for those of you living in Sthlm you KNOW a 1 course dinner could be more than 200sek ALONE, so please everyone - take advantage of this!!! The offer only lasts til Sunday night! Here's the address to where you can find all the restaurants participating!!

Feeling Romantic?
Here's a few tips for those of you who feel a bit romantic:
Places
- Monteliusvägen - path at the hights of Södermalm, with a beautiful view over Riddarfjärden, Kungsholmen, City Hall and Gamla Stan - where many people have purposed over the years.
- Kina slott - Asian inspired "lust" castle by Drottningholm. Under a lot of hush hush, our King Adolf Fredrik built a castle for Queen Lovisa Ulrika on her birthday in the 1750's.
- Stadshusets gård - The court of City Hall shuts out all the noises of the city, and the garden by the water with its sculptures and view makes this a beautiful place to be. Take a walk along Norr Mälarstrand afterwards!
- Sandhamn - Listed as one of the most romantic places in the entire world by the magazine Travel and Leisure. The hotel has warm outside pools where you can get cozy. Perfect for a wknd.
- Ekotemplet in Hagaparken - During the summer the wedding couples literly stand in line to get married here. Go there on a Saturday, with a blanket, and see all the newlyweds pass by.
Restaurants
- Cloud Nine - They have an actual Dessert room with a 3-course-meal with JUST desserts.
- Brasserie Le Rouge - Paris, Burlesque and lots of red velvet. This place screams romance.
- Gondolen - Elegant classic-Stockholm-place with a luxuary menue and the famous view over Slussen which will give you butterflies in your stomache. Book early!
- Il Tempo - At Il Tempo it feels like you walked right into one of the Godfather movies. Bloody steaks and Italian food at a local restaurant on Södermalm. One of Stieg Larsson's movies was filmed here.
Cafés
- Flickorna Helin & Voltaire - One of my personal favorite cafés. It's in a castle-like building, secluded on Djurgården. Really cozy! Perfect place to bring a date!
- Blå porten - Greek-inspired achitecture in the middle of a garden. Designed for long hours of hanging out. Lots of good desserts, cakes, buns etc. Popular on weekends!
- Fåfängan - Garden café on Södermalm that has been a romantic destination since the 1700-hundreds with on of the best views of Stockholm. The wknd-brunch is a good suggestion!

When? Saturday, Jan 29th 9pm - 2am
Are you tired of this cold horrible weather? Well, this event might be what you're looking for then! On the 29th of Jan there will be a big tropical party at Sydpoolen with steaming heat, dipping in the pool and lots and lots of cocktails! They'll have a tikibar, summer-themed music, live band and burlesque shows happening this night only.
The doors open at 9pm. There'll be an entrance fee at 140sek, and if you don't want to bring your own towel you can borrow one for 50sek. You can buy pre-tickets at Sydpoolen through Amelie or Benita - or from the band. For those of us that DON'T feel like going all the way over there more than once you can probably just pay when you get there! I say probably cuz I can't promise anything. Talk to the orginizers just to be sure!
For those of you that lack imagination, here's a few ideas of how to dress to this party: exotic clothing, bikini. surf shorts, tourist clothing, wetsuit, charter-tourist, amazon woman, sailor, hula hula dancer, bathroob, mermaid, flowery etc...
