Sveavägen is a major street in Stockholm, Sweden.

Sveavägen originates at Sergels torg in the city district of Norrmalm, and goes north through the Vasastan district toward the border to Solna Municipality and the Haga Park. It is often known as the busiest road in Sweden.

Sveavägen follows a straight line from Sergels torg up to Sveaplan and Wenner-Gren Center where it takes a sharp left turn until the junction at Norrtull where it becomes Norra Stationsgatan.

Between Rådmansgatan and Hötorget stations, the Green line of the Stockholm metro runs underneath Sveavägen. Both stations have access from the street.^[1]

Prime Minister Olof Palme was assassinated on 28 February 1986 at the corner Sveavägen and Tunnelgatan.^[2]
