Kaknästornet

This is a place so close to my heart. Over time it has become one of my favorite destinations in Stockholm.

 

Kaknästornet is one of the finest examples of brutal architecture in the city. It was built to herald in the age of Swedish technology almost half a century before Stockholm became the tech capital of Europe.

 

It's a bold testament to Sweden's vision for the future. Kaknästornet's design defied all expectations of a round tower. Instead it is a playful celebration of right angles that would've made Pythagoras proud.

 

The culmination of the tower is it's eight pointed star shaped apex. There you can dine in the highest situated restaurant in the city or relax in the skybar, all the while enjoying a 360 degree view of Stockholm.

 

Kaknästornet is an experience all by itself and no trip to Stockholm is complete without a visit there.
