Tegnérgatan

Tegnérgatan is a pedestrian zone in Stockholm's Norrmalm district that runs downhill from Birger Jarlsgatan to Barnhusbron. The street is lined with restaurants serving diverse international cuisines throughout its length.

The street takes its name from Swedish poet Esaias Tegnér and preserves architecture from the 19th century. It underwent extensive renovation in the early 1990s, which shaped its present character.

The street is named after Swedish poet Esaias Tegnér, and visitors can see the Blue Tower building where writer August Strindberg spent his final years. The location reflects Stockholm's literary history through its connection to these important figures.

The street is accessible via the green metro line at Rådmansgatan station or multiple bus lines serving the area. Wear comfortable shoes for the steep gradient and expect crowds, especially during meal times.

An antique watch shop decorated with maritime objects has operated on the street for over 120 years. The shop reflects the personal interests of its proprietor and represents a rare surviving specialty store from an earlier era.
