Schwedenplatz (German for Sweden Square) is a square in central Vienna, Austria. [1]

It had previously been called Ferdinandplatz, but was renamed after World War I to thank Sweden for sending aid to Austria.

The Schwedenplatz station of the Vienna U-Bahn lines U1 and U4 is located in the square.

On 11 February 2020, a terrorist attack in Vienna in Schwedenplatz killed four people.
