Katarinahissen, a historic public lift in Stockholm, rises 38 meters in height and connects Katarinavägen to Mosebacke torg. Originally opened in 1883, the current structure was inaugurated in 1936 and underwent extensive renovations until its reopening in October 2023. This functionalist design not only offers stunning views of the city but also serves as a vital transport link between Södermalm and Slussen. Visitors can expect a modest fee starting in July 2024 to help maintain the lift. Accessible for all, it features a large cabin that accommodates various travelers. Don’t miss the nearby Gondolen restaurant, famous for its views and cuisine.
