More about the tour
Join us on an exciting walk through a Stockholm that could have looked completely different. From Ferdinand Boberg's fantastic Aztec-style Nobel Palace to Thor Thörnblad's 40-story skyscraper at Nybroplan – we explore the dreams, drawings, and debates surrounding the buildings that never left the drawing board. Along Strandvägen, Nybroplan, Kungsträdgården, and Gamla Stan, the story is told of the grand visions that were stopped by criticism, economics, or political decisions. The tour ends at Slussen's new water square – a place where future plans still evoke emotions.
Discover Stockholm's invisible architectural history – the ideas that could have fundamentally changed the city.
