Nybroplan

Nybroplan is a public square and pedestrian zone in Stockholm's center where major streets converge to create a focal point for city movement. The space opens onto Berzelii Park on one side and connects to a network of surrounding streets and districts.

The area lay underwater until the 18th century as part of Nybroviken bay before being reclaimed and developed as urban land. The transformation into what is now Berzelii Park occurred around 1850 and established the area as a public gathering point.

The Royal Dramatic Theatre anchors this public space, while bronze statues scattered around honor notable Swedish figures. Walking through, you encounter reminders of people who shaped the country's history and culture.

The square serves as a departure point for ferries heading to Djurgården and the Stockholm Archipelago, making it a key transportation hub for visitors. The area is easily walkable and situated near shops, cafes, and other public squares.

A bronze sculpture called Humor depicts a man lifting a manhole cover and was modeled after actor Hans Alfredsson. The figure is set into the pavement of the square and catches visitors off guard when they spot it.
