Reviving this old thread, but not looking for weed like the dude above haha.
Any locals still around or someone who's been to Stockholm? Would you spend 3 weeks there in July? I'd just be trying to skate for the most part, also hang out with friends and meet new folks. How's the situation there atm?
Stockholm local here. 3 weeks in Stockholm is alot if you are just here for skateboarding. I would say a week, week and a half. We only have so many parks/spots. But if you are going for 3 weeks make sure to spend some time in the archipelagos. 3 weeks though will probably get you more time to venture out of the city along the subway lines.
Let me know if you need recommendations for spots or parks.
Yeah, 3 weeks is a lot for most places if you're just lurking haha. I'd actually be pet sitting for a friend in Sundyberg and still working remotely. So I guess I'd mostly be living like a local. I've only ever been to Malmo and it was alright. I know Stockholm is a lot more expensive than Berlin so I'd probably just ride my bike around, hang in parks, go skate, and visit the Systembolaget here and there. But that's pretty much what I do anywhere minus the missions to the Systembolaget.
But yeah, would be keen to hear your recs on spots and parks. Would you say Stockholm is even a decent skate destination in general?
Stockholm is an allright city to skate in. Malm� way way better.
Hogdalen is tranny heaven. There is a flatground/street area but there is better options for that kind of skating. But if you enjoy skating tranny. Go there! Green line towards Hagsätra.
Bredäng is along the red line. One of the better street parks in town. Close to the subway so it's easy to find it.
Skarpnäck - End station on the green line. Skarpnäck houses the only skate plaza in Stockholm. Super good spot!
Humlegården if there is a comparison to be made then it's that Humlegården is Stockholms Tompinks Square Park. Right in the middle of the city. Ledges, rails, manny pads and a mini ramp.
Rålis best park in the city. Go there during late evenings or early mornings or perpare for a gauntlet. Closest subway station is either Fridhemsplan or Thorildsplan. Green/blue line.
Kristineberg got a good bowl down by the water. Green line.
