The Ministry of Integration and Gender Equality (Swedish: Integrations- och jämställdhetsdepartementet) was a ministry of the Government Offices of Sweden. Its areas of responsibility included consumer affairs, democracy issues, gender equality, human rights, integration issues, metropolitan affairs, minority issues, non-governmental organizations and youth policy. The only minister to head the ministry was Nyamko Sabuni who served as Minister for Gender Equality and as Minister for Integration. She was careful to publicly point out that she is an equalist and not a feminist, not having any group based on gender, race, age, religion or other typical discrimination ground as focus and angle above others in her equality work. In Swedish the role (Jämställdhetsminister) is more exactly translated into called Equality Minister. The ministry offices were located at Fredsgatan 8 in central Stockholm. The ministry was dissolved following the 2010 general election with gender equality moving to the Ministry of Education and Research and integration moving to the Ministry of Employment.

Riksbron (Swedish: "The National Bridge" or "The State Bridge") is an arch bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden leading from Drottninggatan on Norrmalm 44 metres (144 ft) over to Riksgatan on Helgeandsholmen. The name is derived from the bridge's proximity to several buildings of national importance, including Riksdagen, the Parliament Building; Rosenbad, the Prime Minister's Office and the Government Chancellery; and the Sager House, official residence of the Prime Minister. Nearby bridges include Stallbron, Norrbro, and Vasabron.

Vasabron (Swedish: "The Vasa Bridge") is a bridge over Norrström in central Stockholm, Sweden connecting Norrmalm to Gamla stan, the old city. The bridge is, unintelligibly, named after King Gustav Vasa (1496–1560), perhaps because of the vicinity to the statue of the king in front of the House of Knights. From Vasabron a much smaller bridge, Strömsborgsbron, connects to the islet Strömsborg. Nearby bridges include Riksbron, Stallbron, Norrbro, Centralbron, and Strömbron.

The Ministry of Education and Research (Swedish: Utbildningsdepartementet) is a government ministry in Sweden responsible for matters relating to schools, universities, colleges, and research.

Bankkajen (Swedish: The Bank Quay) is a quay and a street passing along the western shore of the islet Helgeandsholmen in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. The name was adopted in 1925, after other proposals such as Banknäset ("Bank Neck") and Bankstranden ("Bank Shore") had been investigated. The quay was reinforced in 2002.

Riddarhuskajen (Swedish: "Quay of the House of Knights") is a quay in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. Located north of both the square Riddarhustorget and the House of Knights, it stretches east from the north-western corner of the island Stadsholmen to the bridge Vasabron and the alley Riddarhusgränd. Just west of the quay passes the motorway Centralbron, while the quay Kanslikajen forms an eastward extension leading past Kanslihuset to Stallbron and Mynttorget. The two wings of the House of Knights were completed in 1870 to the design of A W Edelsvärd (1824–1919), otherwise mostly remembered for his standard design of Swedish railway stations. The gardens of the building as completed are but a pale reminiscence of the original intentions which reflects the decline of power of the Swedish nobility, and still, the present state of things hardly give any indications of the character of the place in the early-19th century — a row of hovels in stone and wood lined up along the present quay hid the heap of rubbish where the statue of Axel Oxenstierna is found today, while a harbour surrounded by a wooden paling extended the premises into the water.The current name of the quay was proposed in 1921 and made official in 1925.

Riksgatan (Swedish: "National Street") is a street in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. Located on Helgeandsholmen, and passing between the eastern and the western buildings of the Swedish Parliament House, makes it the official address of the Parliament. In its northern end, the bridge Riksbron extends it over Norrström to Drottninggatan on Norrmalm, while the bridge Stallbron extends it south over Stallkanalen to Mynttorget on Stadsholmen. The quay Bankkajen forms a semi-circular parallel street along the western waterfront of Helgeandsholmen, while Norra Helgeandstrappan and Södra Helgeandstrappan leads to Riksplan, the open space in front of the Parliament's eastern façade. The present name was made official in 1947, while the Bank of Sweden was still located in the western building. Before this the street was regarded as part of Drottninggatan. It is, arguably, the only street in the capital not own by the city, but by the Parliament.The Parliament House (Riksdagshuset) was from its completion in the early 20th century subject to fiery criticism – its bombastic decorations and triumphal arches regarded as falling short of hemortsrätt ("domiciliary right") in Scandinavia, the home of a more simple and fastidious taste, at the time by many regarded as something irrefutable. The building was, however, constructed to the design of Aron Johansson during the period 1892–1905, and, following the transition from a bicameral to a unicameral system in 1971, rebuilt in 1977–1983, the Bank of Sweden subsequently relocated to its present building at Brunkebergstorg in 1976 in order to house the single chamber west of Riksgatan. The communication system between the various parts of the Parliament, except the triumphal arches overpassing the street, are hidden by a subterranean system of subways stretching under the bridges extending the street.
