Stockholm Subway Stations

Stockholm Subway Stations

Riding the subway (or tunnelbana) in Stockholm is truly a unique experience. Since 1950, artists have worked to turn the city’s underground system into a massive art installation. Out of the 100 subway stations in Stockholm, over 90 are decorated with sculptures, paintings, mosaics, and cave-like features. The best to see them is to buy either a 24 hour-ticket or a single journey ticket which is valid for 75 minutes. Tickets are available through the SL app, ticket machines and ticket booths at the stations, as well as Pressbyråns. Another tip is to visit them by the colour of the lines. The most impressive ones are on the blue line. So, get your camera ready, watch out for the commuters, and be prepared to be amazed by the artwork displayed on the walls. Here are our TOP10 stations not to be missed while in the Swedish capital: 1. Solna Centrum (Blue line) 2. Stadion (Red line) 3. Tekniska Högskolan (Red line) 4. Kungsträdgården (Blue line) 5. T-Centralen (Blue line) 6. Rådhuset (Blue line) 7. Solna Strand (Blue line) 8. Tensta (Blue Line) 9. Mörby Centrum (Red line) 10. Thorildsplan (Green line)

Take a swim

Take a swim

The waterways of Stockholm are not only beautiful to look at, they are also so clean and clear you can take a dip right in the middle of town. There are not a lot of cities in the world that can make that claim! Check on several lovely beaches to bask on and cliffs to jump from around the city. Here are a few examples: Smedsuddsbadet This swimming beach at Rålambshov Park Beach is popular with families. Sun-worshipping Stockholmers choose neighboring Rålambshov Park instead. Långholmesbadet Narrow beaches and several large rocks offer good swimming for the experienced. The green island of Långholmen is a popular destination for swimmers. Brunnsviksbadet A swimming beach in Frescati Hage at Brunnsviken in the Ekoparken park. There are also charming inlets and beaches near Haga Park for experienced swimmers. Walk or take the subway to the Universitetet station. Fredhällsbadet Experienced swimmers will enjoy swimming from the rocks with a view of Lake Mälaren. Take the green subway line to Kristineberg and walk along the water’s edge to the swimming area. Fjäderholmarnas bad Take a trip out to the swim-friendly rocks of Stockholm’s nearest archipelago island, only 25 minutes by boat from Slussen or Nybroplan.
