Diplomatstaden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diplomatstaden (literally "Diplomat town" in English) is a part the Östermalm district in Stockholm, Sweden. It's name originates from the number of embassies in the area, sixteen to be exact, including those of the United States, Norway, Finland, Germany, and South Korea. Also in Diplomatstaden are three churches, including the Engelska kyrkan (English Church), and three museums, the Technical, Marine History, and Ethnic museums.

Diplomatstaden is typically considered to stretch from Banérgatan in the west, to Greve von Essens väg and Lidovägen in the east. A body of water named Djurgårdsbrunnsviken and the island of Djurgården border Diplomatstaden to the south.
