Thread Name: Busking permits (in various locations)
Subject: RE: Busking permits (in various locations)
Hey there! I was recently busking in Stockholm, Sweden. Playing acoustic mondolin in Gamla Stan, central part of the city, when all of a sudden, was taken by the police, brought to the police station and after keeping me there for two days, sent back to my home country, though my documents were ok and my being in the country was legal. Police said that busking is illegal in Sweden, and by the law, its the same as begging. Did anybody have that kind of experience in Sweden or somewhere else in Europe_
