We start very strong with an extraordinary experience, the IceBar located behind the Central Station in Stockholm. Yes, you heard right, a completely frozen bar at a constant temperature of -5°C in the heart of the Scandinavian capital. The entire interior is sculpted from 40 tons of natural ice from the Torne River right down to the glass your drink will be served in! You must of course book in advance, the entrance fee includes a drink and a 45-minute visit. To survive this polar cold, visitors can borrow a cape and a pair of gloves to fully enjoy the magical decor and artistic design! A memorable experience.
