I'll be in Stockholm in a few days and I'd like to know if there's a seedy side to the city. I love the beautiful, touristy areas but I have a taste for the lurid and trashy as well I'm a pretty tough guy and I'm not afraid of transients, junkies or prostitutes male or female as I'm used to them. Hang around Sergels Torg square and T-Centralen central subway station late at night and there will be plenty see Haha, sounds like a plan!
Well, the square is not too bad during daytime but when the sun sets and especially late night I've seen some really "interesting" elements down there. So no red light district for me to explore by night? The Sergels square sounds interesting at night but I'm not really looking for refugee con artists pushing oregano leaves. Just somewhere with dive bars and outsiders is all. No red light district correct. Buying sexual services is actually against the law here, whereas prostitution is not.
You could check the area around metro Medborgarplatsen south exit. So what you have is more of specific places rather than several blocks with 'bad' places. But nothing really like a rowdy port district or similar. And, yes, since buying sex is illegal thete's a big chance you'll get the Prostitution Group on your tail just by floating around the area.
Minor tip The more a place advertises cheap beer, the bigger the chance for a fight or two between drunks. If Joel shows up in a mini skirt and stockings, I don't think the vice squad will regard him as a criminal, rather a victim who should be treated to some free coffee. So it's a business where you're allowed to sell, but a customer is not allowed to purchase the goods. Doesn't sound like a sound business plan to me. For the record guys, I don't plan on utilizing the services of hookers or hustlers.
I just wanna see where they live :. Profile JOIN. Log in to get trip updates and message other travelers. Seedy Side. Watch this Topic.
