If you’ve been to Stockholm, you know how difficult it is to find toilets in the city centre. Toilets are rare, they are charged for, and they are often located in the back of stores and other hard-to-find places.
To make things worse, tourists often don’t have the necessary 10 SEK coin to get in, or the toilets can only be opened by sending a text message from a mobile phone registered in Sweden.
That is why the toilet situation has annoyed many Stockholm visitors, especially those travelling with children.
The toilet at Norra Bantorget was offcially opened today

Toilet map
There is a Google map available with all the toilets: Stockholm’s public toilets. The toilets with dark green checkmarks are the ones that are in operation (“i drift”). The map seems to be managed and updated by the administration of the city.
App
For iPhones there is also an app with map available. It seems to be based on the same data as the map above.
