Itinerary

Ringvägen 100

This large mural covers the east side of Clarion Hotel Stockholm at Ringvägen 100 in Skanstull. Painted by Klive and Kaos from Graffitisthlm, it is a standout street-art landmark in Södermalm

Luthens Gränd

This piece of street art in Luthens Gränd is a permanent wall by artist YASH (Linus Lundin), painted in 2015. A girl looks to the sky as a robin perches on her arm

Fiskargatan 8

This stunning wall was painted in 2017 by Os Gemeos (Brazilian twins, Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo) on the side of this residential building. They used around 1,000 cans of spray paint to create this piece

Riksdagshuset

The Swedish parliament sits in linked East and West Wing buildings on Helgeandsholmen, combining the 1905 Riksdag building, the former Bank of Sweden building, and the modern Chamber added in the early 1980s

Gustav Adolfs torg

Central Norrmalm square beside the Royal Swedish Opera, where the 1898 opera house stands on Gustav III's 1782 theatre site and recalls the king's 1792 masked-ball shooting

Brunkebergstorg

Brunkebergstorg is a central Stockholm square shaped by Norrmalm's 20th-century redevelopment, with Peter Celsing's 1976 Riksbank building as its clearest modernist landmark

NK

The NK department store opened at this Hamngatan location in 1915. The building was designed by Sweden's most prominent Art Nouveau architect of the time, Ferdinand Boberg

Östermalms Saluhall

Östermalms Saluhall is a red-brick food hall opened in 1888, built around a cast-iron framework and known for its corner tower on Östermalmstorg

Arkitekturskolan (1970-2015)

Brutalist architecture is often unappreciated, and that was certainly the case when Arkitekturskolan (the School of Architecture) opened at this site in 1970

Arkitekturskolan (new)

The new Arkitekturskolan (School of Architecture) building is a far cry from the school's old building. This one is clad in curved weathering steel and is more welcoming than the brutalist concrete facade of the old one

Stadsbiblioteket

Stockholm Public Library is Gunnar Asplund's landmark 1928 library, best known for its cylindrical central rotunda and Nordic Classicist design

Norra Tornen

The Norra Tornen towers are different heights - one at 125 metres high and the other at 110 metres. Together they include around 300 apartments of varying sizes
