Södra Teatern, Historic theatre in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden
Södra Teatern is a theatre complex in Södermalm with seven stages, two restaurants, five bars, and multiple outdoor terraces overlooking Stockholm's central districts and waterways. The largest stage, Stora Scen, hosts theatrical shows and concerts, while Kägelbanan accommodates club nights with a 700-person capacity.
Built in 1859 by architect Johan Fredrik Åbom, this complex ranks as Sweden's oldest continuously operating theatre. The building preserves its original architectural features and represents a key chapter in Stockholm's 19th-century theatre history.
The name reflects the venue's position in the southern part of Stockholm, and locals and visitors use the spaces for theater, music, and social gatherings. The multiple stages and terraces create a social hub where different forms of entertainment merge throughout the year.
The complex spans indoor and outdoor spaces, so plan your clothing based on the season and which program you plan to attend. On-site restaurants and bars allow you to extend your visit with meals or drinks without leaving the venue.
The Mosebacketerrassen offers sweeping views of Gamla Stan and Djurgården and draws large crowds on summer evenings for concerts. This elevated position makes the terrace a popular gathering spot for those wanting to enjoy both the city views and live performances.
