The Brunkeberg Tunnel (Swedish: Brunkebergstunneln) is a 231 m (758 ft)-long tunnel for pedestrians and cyclists connecting David Bagares Street to Tunnelgatan in central Stockholm.[1][2] It passes through the esker Brunkebergsåsen and was inaugurated King Oscar II on 9 June 1886.[3]

After opening, many Stockholmers continued using the above-ground road because it cost two öre to access the tunnel.[2]
