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.

Tempo Documentary Festival 2020
Gustav Adolfs torg 22, 111 52 Stockholm, SwedenA week with over 130 program points around Stockholm!
This year Tempo’s theme is Family and the program is filled with interesting touches in the innermost sphere.
The word family can be sensitive, arouse thoughts of security and community but also a sense of disappointment. Missing a family or not having a supportive family around when needed. This year’s theme puts the family under control. How can we look at an extended family concept? The biological family is one thing, but for many the self-elected family is just as important, if not more important.
PROGRAM OF THE YEAR: www.tempofestival.se
TICKETS: Pre-sale takes place at www.tempofestival.se/billetter/ or via the link here in the event.
During the festival, the ticket booths open one hour before the first show at each showroom and close when the last show starts.
Tempo is Sweden’s largest festival for documentary expression. Since its founding in 1998, documentaries from all over the world have been presented that would otherwise not reach a Swedish audience. Tempo provides a unique forum to collectively present documentary works across genre boundaries.
NOTE 15 year limit on all our films.
