10 minutes away from central Stockholm on the T-bana (metro), Solna Centrum is one of my favourite…read morestations on the network for the overall art and beauty of the station, a red and green painting which goes around both platforms and the small interchange looks great, although Stockholm's metro art is already pretty good across most stations. After leaving here it is a good walk away from what I'd say is the main part of Solna, one of the country's fastest-growing cities a short journey away from Stockholm so if you are heading to a game at the Friends Arena or the country's largest shopping mall, Mall of Scandinavia you might want to take the train from Stockholm City instead getting into Solna Station for easier access - however, this could be a way to beat the crowds. There were signs for the Friends Arena and Mall of Scandinavia originally but after leaving the platform, it was so difficult as everything seemed to vanish - even finding the bus stop to head there was a little tricky and my GPS seemed to be unable to direct me any further as Google Maps doesn't seem to understand underground subways. It is right near Solna Centrum shopping mall, of course carrying the same name but this appears to be really run down since the opening of Mall of Scandinavia in late 2015. The station is only on one line, T11 which means if you want to make any connections onto any other line, you would probably have to go into Central Station which isn't ideal, but it could help to beat the crowds on a match-day after waiting for AIK or Sweden's national team play nearby. 3* - The artwork is something to be proud at and once you know where you're going (good for the many houses and offices close to the station), the commute towards Solna centrum and the shopping, dining and football facilities isn't too bad - better signage from the station and perhaps making this station staffed would be a great improvement. As with any station on the metro network, it is step-free and the gap between the train and the platform isn't bad compared to other stations as expected as this is a newer station, opening on the 1975 blue line extension.

We only got lost once at T-Centralen which is pretty good considering how many levels there are…read morehere. T-Centralen where "T" is an abreviation for "tunnelbana" that is the Swedish word for underground. Lots of escalators and many lifts. This is the only station where all of the subway lines meet and is therefore the busiest station in the Swedish network with an underground underpass to the Stockholm Central Station (for national and regional trains) where we caught the Arlanda Express to the airport. Both of the blue lines (Lines 10 and 11), both of the red lines (Lines 13 and 14) and all three of the green lines (Lines 17, 18 and 19). Thankfully, there's a great color map that shows what's what and where. Many food and shopping opportunities. Luggage storage areas. Several places to sit and rest. We were through here several times and never had time to properly explore. It was a connecting point and a good one for that. [Review 18722 overall - 56 in Sweden - 2245 of 2022.]

I love love love cities with public transportation. I've ridden metros in 50+ cities from Amsterdam…read moreto Zürich, Dallas to Santiago, Beijing to Toronto. Stockholm's Tunnelbana system is just as good as any of them. I bought a seven day pass and that meant I didn't need to be concerned about whether or not a one-stop trip was a good use of my money. I was on and off and on and off. The pass is valid on the trams and the buses too! Good signage and easy to operate though I only got lost once or twice. You need to know which is the last station on your line so you know you're headed in the right direction. Most of the stations have lifts or escalators. Some stations have staff. A few stations have indicators of the next train and how long you're going to need to wait for it. The trains are frequent enough and they are definitely clean. I did not see litter in the system and I did not experience anyone walking the train begging or selling stuff. [Review 18784 overall - 90 in Sweden - 2307 of 2022.]

You can book guided tours, but you can also do a self-guided tour for free! I suggest googling self-guided tours on Google and finding a tour that sounds most interesting to you. You normally start at T-Central and work your way up and down the green, blue, and red lines. There is so much to see, I definitely recommend!! New York city subways could NEVER. These subways are unmatched, fun, and gorgeous! If you are exploring the subways yourself, I would give yourself 2 hours and buy the 75 minute ticket :)

Typically I don't write reviews for subway stations (or "tunnelbana" as it is called in Sweden),…read morehowever, the station of Thorildsplan does deserve a place in my Yelp-list of retro games related shops (and now places). You could also say it is not a typical subway station, but very few of the stations in Stockholm are typical since most of them feature a theme or special artwork. The theme of the Thorildsplan subway station is 8-bit games. On the wall mosaic you'll see references to Super Mario Brothers on the 8-bit NES, as well as Pac-Man with ghost (not sure what port of Pac-Man the sprites are taken from). Worth a visit for the retro gaming geek that want to do it all, non-geeky friends may not appreciate it to the same extent. :) There is not much else on the station but it is close to Rålambshovsparken which is very nice to stroll around on the way into the city. To get there, take the subway (doh!), green line towards west (towards Åkeshov, Vällingby or Hässelby Strand among others).
