This page is dedicated to the 155m tall Kaknästornet, Sweden´s 2nd tallest
structure, and the nearby Diplomatstaden.

KAKNÄSTORNET IN LADUGÅRDSGÄRDET:

Kaknästornet (the Kaknäs Tower) from 1967 was the tallest structure in Sweden
until Turning Torso (190m) was completed in Malmö in 2004.Kaknästornet is 155
meter tall and uses very fast elevators. On the top there is two observation decks
(outdoors and indoors) and a restaurant.

We went all the way up for free because we had SL-cards (subway/buscards).

This is a shot from the Kaknäs tower, hard to take because of a fence with very small holes:

To the left is the city center and Kungsholmen and the avenue to the right is Valhallavägen at Östermalm.
Kaknästornet is situated in an area called Ladugårdsgärdet where there is not many buildings despite it is just
east of the city center.

DIPLOMATSTADEN:

Diplomatstaden. This district, across the water from Djurgården and very close to Kaknästornet, is were
all the embassys are situated. Many of the embassys are situated in beautiful villas, but the American embassy
is in an ugly grey modernistic building.
