Crispy leaves rustle at our feet and the first fresher winds are announcing that winter is coming soon. Life starts retracting indoors, but not only homewards… This is also a time for indoor music and film festivals, dining out at cozy restaurants or attending fairs like the Baking and Chocolate Fair. Oh yes, this is also the time we like to dress up like ghosts and pumpkins and go trick-or-treating. Let us guide you to some of this months event highlights, things to see and do in Stockholm.

Chelas – There’s a New Mexican in Town
Located at the trendy Hornstull neighbourhood of Södermalm, at Verkstadsgatan 4, you’ll find Chelas, Stockholm’s newest Mexican restaurant. Chelas opened its doors in July of 2019. The name comes from the Mexican slang word for beers and a phrase the Mexicans use when they want to socialise with friends and family: “Saca las chelas”. Literally translated it means “Bring out the beers”, but it can actually be better interpreted as “Let’s have some beers and hang out”.
The wine culture in Sweden is expanding, especially with the increase of vineyards in Skåne in the south of the country. In fact, 42% of all alcohol sales in Sweden consist of wine, and this is very different from brännvin, the traditional Swedish drink that translates as burn-wine. You can of course buy wine from the state owned Systembolaget. However, the only other place that you can buy wine and enjoy a glass is in licenced restaurants and bars that serve food. There are some great restaurants in Stockholm that unite their food and wine menu in perfect harmony, taking equal consideration to both.

Halloween at Gröna Lund 2019
Lilla Allmänna Gränd 9, 115 21 Stockholm, SwedenBetween October 18 and November 3 (entire autumn school break), Gröna Lund will be open for Halloween celebrations. All attractions will be open and the park will be decorated in various Halloween themes, where “Lilla Området” (small area) targets the younger visitors and will be filled with pumpkins, witches, and scarecrows. Pettson o Findus Värld takes on a spookier theme and Teatern (the theatre) has a magical kid’s show twice daily.
In “Stora Området” (big area), brave souls can visit four haunted houses, where the House of Even Worse Nightmares has new frights, “Blå Tåget” (the blue train) “Lustiga Huset” (fun house) is transformed into “Olustiga Huset” (not-so-fun house), and the haunted house on water, Skeppet (the ship) returns.
Those who dare can also embark themselves in the new horror house. Gröna Lund promises a new level of fright, so be careful!
From Broadway to Duvemåla
Cirkus, Djurgårdsslätten, Stockholm, Sweden“From Broadway to the Duvemåla” the success show where great emotions meet equally large voices in the most beloved hits from the musical world. A big part of the success is that the concert is constantly changing as the constellation of participating artists changes for each season.
Everything started as a one-off event when the singer and producer Viktoria Tocca set up “From Broadway to Duvemåla” at the Berwaldhallen in Stockholm in the spring of 2016 – now the performance goes into its eighth season. After playing for sold out houses around Sweden for four years.
