    Named after Swedish composer Franz Berwald, this late-1970s concert hall is at the top of its game, despite being mostly underground. Home to the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and world-renowned Radiokören (Swedish Radio Choir), it also hosts the annual August Baltic Sea Festival, a classical-music extravaganza featuring orchestras, choirs and soloists from several Baltic countries, including Russia.
