Wander through this tranquil city square and enjoy a drink on the scenic terrace nearby.

Mosebacke Square is a lovely city square and the perfect place to take a break when exploring the trendy Mosebacke Torg area. Go for a walk, bring a picnic or take a seat on a bench and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.

Notice the marble sculpture in the middle of the square, depicting two women standing with their backs to each other. This is a famous 20th-century work called The Sisters by Nils Sjögren. It took 10 years to complete. Sjögren was inspired by the tragic deaths of two women in 1911, who tied themselves together and drowned in Lake Hammarby. The statue has come to be seen as a symbol of the prejudices and challenges homosexual couples once faced.

View the grand Mosebacke water tower looming over the square. This octagonal brick building was designed by Ferdinand Boberg in 1896. Look for the hidden entrance to the Katarinabergets bomb shelter, which is found beneath the park.

In the summer, locals and tourists come to this area to relax on the Mosebacke Terrace, a popular beer garden found near the square. Look for a large archway with intricate carvings and follow the stairs up to this lively outdoor bar. Sip microbrews while enjoying the wonderful view over the Nörrstrom river, the pastel buildings of Stockholm’s Old Town, Djurgården island and beyond that, the modern skyline of Nacka.

Don’t miss Södra Teatern, one of Stockholm’s most important theaters. Dating back to the 19th century, it’s one of the oldest privately run theaters in the country. The theater features local Swedish artists, hosting events ranging from opera, cabaret and comedy to parties and political debates. Take a look inside the theater to see its beautiful interior design, drink champagne at its 7th-floor bar or enjoy a jazz brunch on the weekends.

Mosebacke Square is located in the eastern part of Södermalm. The square is easily reached on foot as part of a walking tour of the neighborhood or you can also get here by metro or bus.

Take a break from exploring the Mosebacke Torg neighborhood in this charming square.
