Evert Taubes terrass, Public observation terrace in Gamla Stan, Sweden.
Evert Taubes Terrass is a public viewing terrace on Riddarholmen island that overlooks the Mälaren waterway. From this spot, visitors face the old town, can see Stockholm City Hall, and watch boats passing by on the water.
The terrace takes its name from Evert Taube, a composer and songwriter from southern Sweden who lived and worked in the early 1900s. His music shaped Swedish folk song traditions of that era.
A bronze statue at the terrace honors Evert Taube, a Swedish musician and poet whose songs remain popular in Swedish culture today. Locals use this spot to sit and watch the water, making it a place where his artistic legacy feels present.
The terrace is open year-round and has benches positioned for comfortable viewing. You can easily walk there without any special preparations needed.
From this terrace, you can see both the medieval Riddarholmen church and the roofline of the Royal Palace at the same time, two very different symbols of Stockholm. This double view of old and royal architecture makes the spot special.
