| Description |
|
By anybody's
standards the Kaknas Tower has to be
described as functional rather than
elegant. Standing 155 metres tall or
170 metres, if you count the antenna on the
top, it is a major hub for Swedish
television, radio and satellite
broadcasts. For many years it was the
tallest structure in the Nordic
countries. At the top is a public
observation platform as well as a
restaurant, and at the base there is a shop
for visitors wishing to buy souvenirs.
 Visitors are provided
with superb views of Stockholm's city
centre and the surrounding area,
including the archipelago of islands and
the cruise ships sailing between them on
their way to and from the Baltic Sea.
