Stockholm's Subway: The World's Longest Art Gallery
For the price of a ticket, you go from station to station on the Stockholm subway, and at each stop, you’ll discover a new art experience. And in the summer, SL (Stockholm Public Transport) regularly organizes free guided art walks in the subway (all you need is a valid ticket). In these art walks, SL’s art guides tell you more about the unique collection of artwork and sculptures, architecture, and artists behind the works of the 110 km long subway system, where more than 90 of the 100 stations are beautifully decorated.
A great starting point is the Central Station, where you’re sure to see plenty of art as you pass through, and here are some of View Stockholm’s other favorites. One of them has even been named the world’s third coolest subway station. Enjoy!

Samuelson made further additions a decade later, which only enhanced the magic of the space. So no wonder that the world’s largest travel guide company Fodor has named it the world’s third coolest subway station.
