Stockholm Concert Hall

On February 28, 1986, Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme and his wife Lisbeth made a spontaneous plan to go to the Grand cinema with their son and his fiancée, without calling in their bodyguards. On their way home, an unknown man came up behind Palme, shot him to immediate death with a revolver, and escaped along Tunnelgatan. The street nearby was renamed Olof Palmes gata to commemorate the victim. The police led several failed investigations; as Palme was a well known world leader, known for his pathos for human rights and his harsh criticism against oppression, the suspects included South African spies, the Kurdish resistance movement, and the police themselves. In 1989, the lone criminal Christer Pettersson was found guilty by the Stockholm City court; though the Svea Court of Appeal later found reasonable doubt and acquitted him. During the following decades, the murder has inspired novelists, crime enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists. In June 2020, the police closed the case, presenting their final suspect: graphic designer Stig Engström, dead since 2000. Engström worked for insurance company Skandia in the office building on Sveavägen, and was one of the few witnesses. See Stockholm labour tour for context.

This 1850s building houses a 1920s cinema designed by the Stockholm Public Library architect Erik Gunnar Asplund. A beautiful and intimate setting.

An interactive exhibition dedicated to the Swedish music producer Avicii, also known as Tim Bergling.

A classical bath-house in one of Stockholm's most beautiful art nouveau buildings, this is a place where you can go for a swim, have a beer in the sauna bar or enjoy a full spa treatment.

University students and seniors 70 kr Su–F until 15:00. Most spa treatments 350–700 kr.

Stockholm's busiest city square. The black-and-white Harlequin concrete floor was laid in the 1960s, and while the design remains controversial, and the place used to have bad reputation for drug-dealing and violence, it attracts thousands of people daily for meet-ups, political demonstrations, flash mobs, and merchant stands. In 2018, a renovation was completed, reclaiming pedestrian space from car lanes.

Kulturhuset, a 1970s concrete building in the middle of the modernist city centre, is operated by the city, and a venue for art exhibitions and performances. The building also houses the Stockholm City Theatre, a library (with a comic book department), a teen activity centre, and a scale model of Stockholm. On ground level there is an Internet café.
