Hornstull — Attraction in Stockholm

You think Slussen is da bomb? Think again! Hornstulls Subway station has it all: elevators, lifts, overly pricy shops, and sliding doors.

The Hornstull Subway station has excellent connections. Being a Subway station, you can access it from almost any other Subway station in Stockholm - or Sweden, seeing that all subway's in Sweden are connected to the Stockholm Subway system.
