If you’re looking for nightlife on the weekend, look no further than Stadshotellet in Lidköping. Stadshotellet is a hotel but there is a beautiful bar there and the hotel turns into a club at night on Friday and Saturday. There are 3 dance floors and a really cool outside space. Another great bar is Bakgårn which is on the corner of the main square in Lidköping. They do great cocktails there and also amazing food with lots of options for both veggie and meat-lovers. You should also try some of the amazing cakes and pastries which are the best! Rådhuskonditoriet do some amazing Swedish treats and great coffee.

It’s a good idea to carry swimwear all the time, as you often come across amazing other parts of the lake or beaches where you may want to take a dip.

Sweden is slowly turning into a cashless country and everyone seems to use their bank/Monzo cards rather than cash. A lot of shops now only accept card and no cash.
