Restaurants Closing During the Summer Months (2016) JUNE 22, 2016 Restaurants Closing During the Summer Months (2016) This post may come as bad news, at least for "foodies" visiting Stockholm in July and early August. Many top tier restaurants (Michelin star, gourmet) close for a few weeks during the summer. This is mainly due to the generous Swedish vacation rules leading many top restaurants to feel that they can't offer excellent food & service with summer replacement staff. Another reason, perhaps, is that many Stockholmers leave the city during this period and there aren't enough visiting "foodies" to fill these types of restaurants to make it profitable. No businessmen in town either... wining & dining clients. At any rate, the good news is that there are a few which will be open all summer and several other top restaurants have some other options during these weeks... and you always have a plethora of other great restaurants in the city to choose from! Most of these restaurants are also closed during the big Midsummer holiday weekend (June 24th-26th). Michelin star and Bib Gourmand restaurants: • Mathias Dahlgren- closed between July 15th and August 9th (both the Dining Room and the Food Bar). • Frantzén- closes on July 9th. Reopening at a new & better location in 2017! • Oaxen Krog- open all summer as normal. • Oaxen Slip- open all summer... every day for lunch & dinner. • Gastrologik- open all summer, though their more casual Speceriet will be closed until the beginning of August for renovations. • Ekstedt- closed between July 17th and August 5th. • Esperanto- the dining room is closed between June 24th and August 5th. Instead, between June 28th and August 4th, they open up their lounge with what they call their Spanish Summer Salon where guests sit at a communal table. They have other restaurants in the house with different summer schedules... Råkultur is open all summer and Shibumi is only closed between June 24th and July 4th. Imouto however will be closed between July 17th and August 10th. • Operakällaren- closed between July 17th and August 10th. Their more casual Bakfickan will be open all summer. • Volt- closed between July 17th and August 14th. • Rolfs Kök- closed between July 3rd and August 7th. • Den Gyldene Freden- closed for renovations between June 18th and August 19th. • Lilla Ego- closed between July 10th and August 15th. • Nook- closed between July 2nd and August 8th. • Proviant Östermalm- closed between July 9th and July 28th. • Ulla Winbladh- open all summer. Other top rated restaurants: • Svartengrens- closed between July 4th and July 31st. • AG- closed between July 3rd and August 7th. • Lux Day to Day- closed between July 16th and August 16th. • Farang- closed between July 10th and August 10th. • Djuret- closed between July 4th and August 10th. Instead they open up an outdoor pork barbecue restaurant called Svinet. • Pubologi- closed between July 4th and August 2nd. • Omakase Köttslöjd- closed between July 4th and August 2nd. • Le Rouge- closed between June 24th and August 15th. • SMAK- closed between July 10th and August 11th. • Miss Voon- open all summer. • Publico- closed between July 3rd and August 8th. • Spritmuseum- their high-end dinner service closes during the summer months. Instead they have a more casual restaurant (includes garden seating) as well as a great "beer pier" on the water open. • Fotografiska- their indoor fine dining restaurant is closed between June 24th and August 17th. During this time they open an outdoor barbecue in front of the museum (from June 27th to August 14th). Their café is open as usual. • Wedholms Fisk- open all summer. What this all means is that you need to plan a little ahead if you wish to dine at a top tier Stockholm restaurant during your summer visit and be aware that your favorite (or the one you read about) might not be open. However there are still many great restaurants open during these weeks as well as some restaurants that are open only during the summer months that are definitely worth a visit... so you won't go hungry! If you are staying at the Rival Hotel, contact me directly for help in booking any tables ahead of your visit. Our restaurant Bistro Rival is open all summer.

A massive red-brick building, it was designed by Ragnar Östberg (1866-1945) in the National Romantic style, with two inner courtyards and a 106m (348ft) tower. It's most famous for hosting the 1,300 or so guests who are lucky enough to be invited along to the annual Nobel Prize banquet, an event held in the Blue Hall on 10 December after the prizes have been awarded at Konserthuset. The hall - which is designed to look like an Italian Renaissance piazza - was meant to be painted blue, but Östberg liked the way the sun hit the red bricks and changed his mind. The hall is also the home of an immense organ, with more than 10,000 pipes and 138 stops. In the astonishing Golden Hall upstairs, scenes from Swedish history are depicted on the walls in 18 million mosaic pieces in gold leaf. The artist, Einar Forseth (1892-1988), covered the northern wall with a mosaic known as the 'Queen of Lake Mälaren', representing Stockholm being honoured from all sides. The beamed ceiling of the Council Chamber, where the city council meets every other Monday, resembles the open roof of a Viking longhouse. The furniture was designed by Carl Malmsten. The opulent Oval Room, which is part of the guided tour, is a popular place for Swedish nuptials. Such is the demand, it's a speedy marriage merry-go-round as couples tie the knot in a no-frills 40-second ceremony. The extended version is three minutes. You can only visit the interior of the Stadshuset by guided tour, but you can climb the tower independently. Follow a series of winding red-brick slopes then wooden stairs for a fantastic view over Gamla Stan. Three gold crowns - the Tre Kronor, Sweden's heraldic symbol - top the tower. At the edge of the outdoor terrace below the tower, by the waters of Riddarfjärden, are two statues by famous Swedish sculptor Carl Eldh (1873-1954): the female Dansen (Dance) and the male Sången (Song). For refreshments, a cafeteria-style restaurant serves up classic Swedish dishes at lunchtime, while the Stadshuskällaren cellar restaurant offers the previous year's menu from the Nobel banquet. Stadshuset details Stadshuset website Open Stadshuset (guided tours only; tours are in Swedish and English) June-Sept 10am, noon, 2pm daily; Oct-May 10am, noon daily.

  • A Guide to the Swedish Parliament
    A guide to the Swedish Parliament The Riksdag building on the islet of Helgeands- holmen in the heart of Stockholm is the centre of Swedish democracy. This is where laws and the central government budget are determined. Come along on a tour of the Riksdag! 3 THE RIKSDAG BUILDING was inaugurated in 1905. The previous premises on Riddarholmen had become cramped, draughty and outdated. But over time the new building on Helgeandsholmen also became too small, and in 1983 it was joined together with the old Bank of Sweden building, with its characteristic crescent-shaped projection overlooking the water. 4 UNDERGROUND PASSAGEWAYS Seven of the Riksdag’s buildings are connected by underground passageways. One of these – “the Run” – is situated below the bridge over Stallkanalen, which connects lake Mälaren with the Baltic. Members often run here when hurrying to reach the Chamber. When the voting signal sounds, they have eight minutes to get to the Chamber. 5 THE CHAMBER is the heart of the Riksdag. It is here that the elected represen- tatives debate and take decisions. The members of the Riksdag sit according to constituency, irrespective of their party affiliation. The light streams in from big windows under the ceiling, illuminating the birch panelling. The public gallery has seats for visitors and media representatives. 6 MEMBERS’ OFFICES Being a democratically elected member of the Riksdag is a task that involves no fixed working hours and long working weeks. For many years members had neither offices nor accommodation. Their documents were kept in desks in the Chamber. Today each member is provided with an office in one of the Riksdag buildings.

  • A Walkabout Around Historical Blasieholmen and Nybroviken in Stockholm Along the Baltic Sea Water Inlet to Stockholm
    A Walkabout around historical Blasieholmen and Nybroviken in Stockholm along the Baltic Sea water inlet to Stockholm. Our walkabout will start at Kungsträdgården (King’s Garden) and continue along the streets around Blasieholmen towards Nybroviken (New Bridge Bay), where we will view many objects of interests. We will receive more value from the walkabout if we develop a better un- derstanding of the local history of an area when we are viewing the many visual objects. Area around Blasieholmen and Nybroviken Photo: Arlid Vågen I’m arriving at Kungsträdgården Metro Station (1), located in the district of Norrmalm. The platform is located approximately 115ft (34m) under ground. During the exit from the metro station I see several relics rescued from the many buildings demolished, during the some- times tragic redevelopment period of central Stockholm during the period of the 1950s and 1960s. I continue walking along the Birgit Nils- son Allè towards the Stockholm Ström water- front area. Birgit Nilsson was the Swedish world known dramatic opera soprano excelling Walking map for this Walkabout in Wagner style operas. The park Kungsträdgården is divided into four distinct spaces: Square of Charles XII; Molin’s Fountain; Square of Charles XIII and “Fountain of Wolodarski”. My absolute favorite is Charles XII statue, on my right in the middle of the park, with his arm pointing eastward. The story is that he had some un- finished business with the Russians (what’s new...). During the spring time Kungsträdgården presents a stunning view of flower- ing cherry blossoms for the visitor. I soon arrive at Stockholm Ström and see the Royal Castle to my right across the water and the famous Grand Hotel (2) and Nationalmuseum (3) to my left.

  • Towards the Kalmar Union
    S P E C I A L I Z E D A G E N C I E S TOWARDS THE KALMAR UNION Dear Delegates, Welcome to the 31st Annual North American Model United Nations 2016 at the University of Toronto! On behalf of all of the staff at NAMUN, we welcome you to the Specialized Agency branch of the conference. I, and the rest of the committee staff are thrilled to have you be a delegate in Scandinavia during the High Middle Ages, taking on this challenging yet fascinating topic on the futures of the three Scandinavian Kingdoms in a time of despair, poverty, dependence and competitiveness. This will truly be a new committee experience, as you must really delve into the history of these Kingdoms and figure out how to cooperate with each other without sending everyone into their demise. To begin, in the Towards the Kalmar Union Specialized Agency, delegates will represent influential characters from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which include prominent knights, monarchs, nobles, and important religious figures who dominate the political, military and economic scenes of their respective Kingdoms. The impending issues that will be discussed at the meeting in Kalmar, Sweden include the future of the Danish and Norwegian crowns after the death of the sole heir to the thrones, Olaf II. Here, two distant relatives to Valdemar IV have a claim to the throne and delegates will need to decide who will succeed to the throne. The second order of business is to discuss the growing German presence in Sweden, especially in major economic cities.
