Why T-Centralen Metro Art matters

Stockholm's metro is often described as a long art gallery, with stations carved from rock and decorated by artists. The central station T-Centralen is the best introduction, with blue-and-white vine patterns painted across the walls. From there, you can ride a few stops to see other stations, painted caves, sculptures and bright colour. It costs only a transit fare and is a quirky photo adventure.

Talking points

  • Many stations are decorated, painted or sculpted.
  • The blue line has some of the most photographed stations.
  • A single transit ticket covers the whole tour.
