Karduansmakargatan

Karduansmakargatan is a pedestrian zone in central Stockholm that spans two blocks and connects Malmtorgsgatan to Rödbodgatan. The street is intersected by the main Drottninggatan avenue and crossed by two pedestrian bridges that link office complexes together.

The street's name comes from leather craftsmen who worked in this area during Stockholm's early development. Its current form emerged from the 1970s urban renewal that reshaped the district with modern structures.

The street displays a mix of historic palace facades and modern office buildings from the 1970s that shape the neighborhood's character. Visitors can see the different architectural layers of the city side by side as they walk through.

The pedestrian zone is easy to access and flat ground makes it comfortable for walking, especially during business hours when many people pass through. Its connection to Drottninggatan helps with orientation since this major avenue makes it simple to find your way around the area.

The south side features the Ministry of Enterprise building, a distinctive 1961 structure that stands as one of the most significant post-war buildings in the Norrmalm district. This edifice catches attention through its clear modernist design and shows the architectural vision of that era's reconstruction.
