Röda Sten

Occupying a defunct, graffitied power station beside the giant Älvsborgsbron, Röda Sten is one of Sweden’s coolest art centres. Its four gritty floors are home to any number of temporary exhibitions, ranging from edgy Swedish photography to New York sound installations. There’s an indie-style cafe with summertime riverside seating, weekly live music and club nights and offbeat one-offs like punk bike races, boxing matches and stand-up comedy. To get there, take tram 3 or 9 to Vagnhallen Majorna, walk towards Klippan, continue under Älvsborgsbron and look for the brown-brick building.
