Looking for the absolute coolest walls in Stockholm
Hi, i am looking to find the most unique looking walls in Stockholm. It could be colorful tile walls, painted walls, stone walls, whatever really. Just something that really stuck to your memory when you saw it… appreciate literally any advice! Thx :)

I always show the cannon ball at Stortorget in Gamla Stan to friends that are visiting Stockholm.
Then there is the mural at Mosebacke.

The back of Kulturhuset looks very cool. Especially when the three is green.
I always imagine it as a giant wall that runs through the city

Does Sprängportarna count? It's mostly big doors but part of a wall ;)

Yesss! I love that one. These are the kind of walls I’m looking for, sort of abstract

If you’re already going to Snösätra, you’ll pass by (one of) the possibly oldest grafitti murals in the world: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/highway

Not sure if this counts, but Globen sky view where you ride a little train up the wall of Globen. It's probably a view of a wall you otherwise wouldn't get so close to.

First thing I thought of was this wall on Södermalm. https://maps.app.goo.gl/zEgNhhmFzpcCeGWt8?g_st=ic

The eye wall of filmhuset
The runestone in a random wall in the old town
The golden hall of city hall
The constantly changing graffiti at Snösätragränd, go to the Spring Beast festival for maximum photo ops
Edit: a few more. Parkaden, with the floor numbers as concrete decorations
The medieval wall paintings by Albertus Pictor in Täby church
The bizarre leather wallpaper made from the skin of aborted calf fetuses at Skokloster castle
