Paris, it’s all very Moulin Rouge; enclaves
decorated with billowing silk and red
velvet and a decadent French menu to restaurant, Fredsgaten, with low-key bars
match. For culinary fi reworks, the only and a lively two-fl oored roof terrace bar/
answer is the lavish Mathias Dahlgren club, with dramatic lighting. Riche is also
at the Grand Hotel. One of Stockholm’s a great spot for an intimate night; it lays
most talked about restaurants, booking on knock-out cocktails and hot late night
in advance is essential. Round off by DJ sets. Finish the night at Patricia; a
joining the relaxed ebb and fl ow of the large ship moored in Södermalm, open
summer bar scene. People stay out late, until the early hours; it’s a great spot to
drinking and dancing, often all under watch the sun come up. Wherever you end
the same roof. Start at F12 Terrassen up wandering, this is the perfect time of
in Norrmalm, which combines a great year to visit the ‘Venice of the North’.
