The Blue Line (Cave Stations)

The Blue Line is known for its dramatic exposed bedrock architecture. Builders covered the rock in sprayed concrete to simulate colorful grottoes.

Many Blue Line stations sit deep underground and maintain a cool temperature year-round. You need a valid SL ticket (43 SEK) to access the platforms past the turnstiles.

This line contains some of the network's most photographed art. Wear comfortable shoes to navigate the long transfers and steep escalators.

This station acts as a subterranean garden painted in green, white, and red. It features replicas of statues from the historic Makalös Palace and houses a unique cave-dwelling spider species. Look closely at the walls to spot the historic relics embedded in the concrete.

Solna Centrum has an intensely bright red cave ceiling and green walls. The artwork depicts a 1,000-meter-long spruce forest highlighting 1970s environmental issues. The stark, saturated contrast of red and green makes this an excellent spot for photography.
