You’ve been enjoying the city but the weather has suddenly turned everything into a rainy, snowy or stormy mess? Not to worry! Stockholm’s Metro stations provide a nice refuge and are just waiting to be discovered.
The above photo shows the station Rådhuset on the Blue line of the Metro network. Here you get the feeling you’ve climbed down into a rocky cavern.
Continuing further east on the Blue line, the next stop is T-Centralen.
The platforms located higher up in this station are not much to see, however the Blue line platform which is on the lowest level is beautifully decorated with blue vines and flowers.
Staying on the Blue line, just one more stop and you’ve reached the end of the line: Kungsträdgården station. At 29.3 metres below sea level, Kungsträdgården is Stockholm’s deepest Metro station. A palace-like station awaits!
Next, head back to T-Centralen and from there switch to the Red line. Travel north to Stadion to see the beautiful rainbow in a corridor between two platforms.
Then continue on the Red line for one more stop to reach Tekniska högskolan. This station, which is dedicated to science, contains references to Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Nicolaus Copernicus, among others.
So there you have it, a short journey down into the world of the Stockholm underground. Not all of Stockholm’s metro stations are so nicely decorated. Some have more or less design elements than others, some none at all. For this post I simply chose the stations that I like best. They are also close together, making them easy to visit in a short space of time.
Have fun checking out the Stockholm Metro!
