Olof Palme Assassination Scene

This street corner in Norrmalm marks the place where Swedish prime minister Olof Palme was shot dead in 1986 while walking home from the cinema. The killing shocked Sweden and became one of the country's defining modern crimes, feeding decades of investigations, books and arguments.

There is not much to see physically, but the spot is a meaningful short stop if you are interested in Swedish politics or the darker side of Stockholm's late-20th-century history.
