A Guide to Stockholm's Tunnelbana for Fair Meetups

Stockholm's metro is the world's longest art gallery. Here's how to use the Tunnelbana to find a fair meetup spot, with amazing art included.

Meeting up in Stockholm? You have to use the Tunnelbana (T-bana). 🚇

Not just because it's efficient. But because it's beautiful.

Over 90 of the 100 stations are decorated with sculptures, paintings, and installations by 150 different artists.

Your meetup can start with a dose of culture. Here's how to use the T-bana to find the perfect midway point.

The Main Hub: T-Centralen

The Heart of the System

All three T-bana lines (Green, Red, and Blue) meet here. This makes it the ultimate midway point for almost any journey.

But don't just rush through. The Blue line platform, with its blue and white leaf motifs painted on the rock ceiling, is iconic and beautiful.

The Plan: Agree to meet at the blue leaf murals on the Blue line platform. It's a specific, beautiful, and central spot.

Art-Filled Midway Stations

Meetups with a Gallery Vibe

Why meet at a boring station when you can meet at a work of art?

Top Art Stations for Meetups:

  • Solna Centrum (Blue Line): Famous for its dramatic, fiery red cave-like ceiling. An epic and unforgettable meeting spot.
  • Kungsträdgården (Blue Line): The terminus of the line, designed to look like an archaeological excavation with ancient-looking statues.
  • Stadion (Red Line): A tribute to the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, with a bright blue sky and rainbow painted on the rock walls. A cheerful and happy midway point.

Finding Your Line

The T-bana makes it easy to connect different parts of the city.

If one friend is in Södermalm (try the Mariatorget station) and another is in Östermalm (like Stadion), you can easily find a midway point on the Red Line.

Don't guess which station is fairest.

Let midway@ calculate the exact travel times and find a coffee shop or bar that's perfectly in the middle for both of you. Effortless art and logistics. ✨
