While in Stockholm, you'll have to visit Mellqvist café. For you Lisbeth Salander fans, you'll recognize the café from Stieg Larsson's Millennium series. Also, make sure to eat out at lesbian-owned café Copacabana. They serve a variety of food, including vegan and vegetarian, and are right next to a movie theater if you want to catch a matinee after lunch.
If you want to get a taste of the lesbian nightlife, check out Club KG, a lesbian dance party held every Saturday. You can also get your dance on with Moxy. If you're into larger crowds, Moxy hosts parties year-round that bring together thousands of women.
Just 10 minutes from downtown Stockholm is Millesgarden, a museum, sculpture garden, art gallery and restaurant. Swedish sculptor Car Milles is the artist behind the sculpture garden. He is known for his erotic creations, including erotic lesbian sculptures.
The Royal Palace is also a must-see. It's filled with 600 rooms and is open year-round for tours. Also, be sure to visit the museum, and check to see if any special events are going on at the Royal Palace while you're in Stockholm.
