Operakällaren is one of the oldest restaurants in Sweden with a history which spans back to 1787. The restaurant was originally opened in the Swedish King Gustaf III’s Opera House, but the old opera was demolished and replaced by a new one. Operakällaren moved on to the new Opera House and was opened in its present location in 1895.
Architects Peter Celsing and Nils Tesch designed the restaurant for its last six years long renovation which was finished in 1961.

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
