Entertainment sights in Sweden

  1. A

    Liseberg Funpark

    The Liseberg fun park is dominated by its futuristic spaceportlike tower. The ride to the top, some 83m above the ground, climaxes in a spinning dance and a breathtaking view of the city. The other amusements and rides seem tame by comparison but there's no lack of variety. You can buy a pass that allows you to ride the attractions all day. There are often summer shows and concerts staged here.

    Opening hours are complex but the season generally runs from late April to early October (and also in the weeks leading up to Christmas) - check the website. Tram No 5 takes you there.

  2. B

    Biografen Skandia

    LA has Mann’s Chinese Theater, Melbourne has the Forum and Stockholm has this dreamy 1923 picture palace, designed by Gunnar Asplund and featuring a deep-blue vanishing ceiling and Pompeian rotunda in the lobby. Built inside the neo-Renaissance Warodell House (one of Stockholm’s oldest apartment buildings), it’s constantly threatening to close due to financial difficulties, so don’t miss the chance to take a peek inside one afternoon or evening.

  3. Valla Fritidsområde

    Just 300m through the forest is Valla Fritidsområde, a recreation area with domestic animals, a children's playground, minigolf, a few small museums and many old houses.
