Åboulevarden

A street along the canal where bars and restaurants fill both sides for three blocks. The crowd ranges from university students to middle-aged regulars depending on the venue. Summer nights turn the outdoor seating into a continuous party; winter shifts everyone indoors. Beer gardens operate May through September. Noise levels stay high until the bars close at 2 AM on weekends. Police presence increases after midnight. The kebab shops stay open latest.
