Nybroplan
Nybroplan is a compact waterfront square in central Stockholm where city life, theatre and harbour traffic converge; it sits between Norrmalm and Östermalm, faces the bay Nybroviken and fronts the Royal Dramatic Theatre and Berzelii Park. Tree-lined quays, monuments and ferry berths give the place a layered character: a transport hub for ferries to Djurgården and the archipelago, a stage for public sculpture, and a pleasant urban pause in the heart of the city.
