Sometimes I do not understand why certain places are so famous, in spite of not being all that great. However, the Absolut Icebar in Stockholm is an example of how architecture can become famous for actually being totally cool. The glasses, the shots, the bar and the decor at the Absolut Icebar are made of ice. Patrons would be given ponchos and gloves to protect themselves.
However, if you are sipping beer from a glass made of ice. Wouldn’t your lips get stuck to the glass and wouldn’t you need emergency medical care? These are the questions that enter my mind when it comes to the Absolut Icebar. However, thanks to the ice, the bar twinkles and shines more than regular bars and thus you would look really glamorous.

If you can’t take the noxious fumes of a city after alighting from a plane, stay in the plane instead! The Stockholm-Arlanda airport will now feature a hostel on wings of sort. The hostel is nothing but a Boeing 747 from 1976 which has about 25 rooms after being converted into a grounded hostel. This apparently is also the world’s first hostel and comes with original engines that mesmerize any guest.
The flight deck now doubles up as a private suite and there also is a lounge and cafe for those who need some kind of refreshments and relaxation. A night ion the hostel is not exactly like staying in a YMCA funded hostel. A night in the Jumbo Hostel will set you back by $170.
