Riksgatan

Riksgatan extends 117 meters between the eastern and western buildings of the Swedish Parliament House on Helgeandsholmen island in central Stockholm.

The street received its official name in 1947 when the Bank of Sweden occupied the western building, before which it was considered part of Drottninggatan.

The Parliament House buildings along Riksgatan display notable architectural elements from the early 20th century, including decorative facades and spanning triumphal arches.

Underground passages connect different sections of the Parliament complex beneath Riksgatan, while bridges at both ends link the street to neighboring districts.

This street stands as the sole thoroughfare in Stockholm not under municipal ownership, as it belongs to the Swedish Parliament instead.
