Some of the T-Bana stations are awe inspiring...

I also recommend the Vasa Museum, but make sure you are there early in the morning or you will find a long queue.

The Ice bar is nice, was fun to drink in the ice cup.

A night out in a good bar in Stockholm is what most of us would call a "mortgage payment", in case you weren't already aware. The only people I've known who have even tried to do "a good night out in Stockholm" were on very generous expense accounts.

Going business class so should be fairly trolleyed by the time I get there. Would like to try the Ice Bar though.

Go and see the Vasa Museum. It is a 17th century warship that sank on its maiden voyage and was perfectly preserved due to the brackish nature of the waters thereabouts.
Pretty sure it was fished out of the Oggin back in the 1960s.
The same sort of vintage as the Mary Rose but preserved almost intact.

Hardly a fair comparison - decent night club is Stockholm vs probably the crappiest pub in the Toon... To quote one review on the Pig and Whistle (personally its being generous)

The pig and whistle is locally a right of passage if you haven't been it's a definite must, because seeing is believing, the drinks are overpriced for the place the people who get in are either underage or overage if you get my meaning, you feet stick to the floor, if your not standing on broken glass, but if you have not been I can not stress enough that you must go in for at least one drink, it's the best laugh you will have all night, a little bit rough but no bother that I have ever seen .situated in the heart of the famous bigg market it is a must for first timers and regular bigg market revellers. The usual selection of drinks and sprits, friendly doorman and fantastic staff. Go right now

I was in Malmo a few times and beer etc wasn't too expensive.

^This. IIRC they have (or at least had!) a tiered system whereby the price of drinks goes up as it gets later.

When I worked there the waiters in our "local" would always tip us off shortly before 9 o'clock that it would be best if we stockpiled a few beers beforehand at the lower price.
Mind you that was way back in 1991 so things may have changed.

If you go to the Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg, watch that you don’t get kidnapped and fall in love with your captors.

Doing a whistle-stop 48 hour trip to see the Rolling Stones in a couple of weeks.

Have never been before - just wondering if there's a few things I should prioritise in a day's sightseeing & some good bars for the evening.

Mary Rose a lot older I think

Good spot. The Vasa sank around 88 years later.

I stand corrected...........a bit.



Still well worth seeing though.
