The street Magasinsgatan is located in the city centre – stretching from Lilla Torget towards Vasastan and crossing streets like Kyrkogatan, Kungsgatan och Vallgatan on its way.

It was first named Arentsgatan after one of the master buildings involved in planning the city in 1621. Magasinsgatan got its present name a few decades later, when a large storehouse (a magasin in Swedish) was built in the block Neptunus.

As the sun sets, the nightlife and restaurant scene comes to life and the short stretch between crossing streets Drottninggatan and Kyrkogatan is particularly busy, offering various cuisines.
