This page is dedicated to the 155m tall Kaknästornet, Sweden´s 2nd tallest structure, and Diplomatstaden.

Kaknästornet (the Kaknäs Tower) from 1967 was the tallest structure in Sweden until Turning Torso(190m) was completed in Malmö in 2004. We went all the way up for free because we had SL-cards (subway/buscards, Swede had to pay just 30 skr). Kaknästornet is 155 meter tall and uses very fast elevators. On the top there is two observation decks(outdoors and indoors) and a restaurant. This is a shot from the Kaknäs tower, hard to take because of a fence with very small holes:

To the left is the city center and Kungsholmen and the avenue to the right is Valhallavägen at Östermalm. Kaknästornet is situated in an area called Ladugårdsgärdet where there is not many buildings despite it is just east of the city.

Diplomatstaden. This district, across the water from Djurgården and very close to Kaknästornet, is were all the embassys are situated. Many of the embassys are sityuated in beautiful villas, but the American embassy is an ugly grey modernistic building.
