At the same time, it really gives you a concentrated flavor of the Swedish modern design style most of us know only through trips to Ikea. It stands in a central area of Stockholm south of Sergels torg where the big, elliptical plaza sits with the geometric, black-and-white triangle design, a most arresting sight seen from the building's windows (photo: http://bit.ly/2aFTOud). If neither big Viking ships nor an ABBA tribute is your cup of tea, then I'd say this is a good place to chill during the day. A good portion of the center is devoted to performance venues like the Stockholm City Theatre, the Hörsalen lecture hall or the more club-like Kilen where young stand-up comedians perform. On the fourth floor is a children's library called Rum för Barn, where kids can hang and read books or listen to storytellers on kid-friendly couches. There's also a comic book library called Serieteket.

The Stock Exchange Building is here which houses the Nobel Museum and the Nobel Library. The centerpiece here is the well that was also designed by Erik Palmstedt. The fountain is connected to the city water system and yes, the water from the fountain is completely drinkable. Note the cannonball in the corner of building number 7 in the plaza. Legend has it that it dates back to the Stockholm Bloodbath. And yes, this was the plaza where the term "bloodbath" was coined following mass executions in November 1520.
