Metropolitan Stockholm

The Stockholm Metro, like Moscow, is not only a means of transportation, but also a work of art. Ckazochnye caves and grottoes, Greek sculptures and elements of classical architecture, wall reliefs and paintings, pop art, mosaic, art exhibitions, trains and men in skirts controllers. And all this - the Stockholm underground.

In Stockholm I was passing through and only had an hour to descend into "the longest art gallery in the world." This time it was too little - each custom station wanted to examine and consider in detail the clock ...

The system of subway lines were opened on 1 October 1950 and is currently the only one in Sweden. Thus kungsträdgården metro station looks at the input station.

The station is located in the rocks at a depth of 34 meters under the ground. Registration stations engaged artist Ulrik Semuelson. He drew inspiration from the great palaces located in the vicinity of kungsträdgården metro station.

A single trip costs about 120 rubles, which is expensive. If one ticket wants to take a few people, it is necessary to apply to the operator in the booth.

You can buy tickets from the machine or in the shops next to the metro.

The card can be replenished in vending machines using cash or credit card.
