To be booked

For large-scale concerts, whether at the Opera or a rock concert, reservations are often essential. For nightclubs or smaller concerts, reservations are not required, but you may find yourself queuing for a long time!

Night transport

Subways run between 5 a.m. and 1 a.m. on weekdays, with reduced services at weekends, running 24 hours a day. Buses complement the trains, metros and streetcars, running 24 hours a day when the rest of the network stops for the night. Otherwise, cabs and Uber operate day and night.

Age restrictions

Usually, the age limit for entering a nightclub in Sweden is 18, which is also the drinking age. That said, many nightclubs have age limits of around 20, 23 or 25. The same applies to certain concerts and shows.

What's very local

The dress code for shows and events in Stockholm is similar to that in major French cities. At the opera, for example, the dress code is more formal than for a DJ set in a bar.
