T-Centralen — Local services in Stockholm

The station opened on November 24, 1957 in connection with the commissioning of the line between Slussen and Hötorget. The station is located under the Clara Church and Åhléns City department store. The station for the green and red lines and connecting tracks was built by digging a large ditch in the center of Stockholm and then covering it with a concrete roof. However, the part below Clara's church is a blown-up tunnel. The architect was Gunnar Lene. However, the Blue Line station was built in its entirety as a blown up tunnel a few years later.

The station has platforms on three different levels. The two upper levels are at a depth of 8.5 and 14 meters, respectively, and are served by green and red lines. The upper level is served by trains heading north on the green line and trains heading south on the red line, and vice versa by plane below. This solution allows you to switch between the green and red lines in opposite directions right across the platform without going up the stairs. Those looking to switch between the red and green lines in the same direction will make it more suitable at Slussen and Gamla stan metro stations, as they have separate platforms for trains going north and south respectively.

The lower level is at a depth of 26–32 meters and is served by a blue line. This part was commissioned on August 31, 1975 in connection with the opening of the blue line and is connected to other platforms by escalators, elevators and an underpass over 100 meters long with a conveyor belt called the...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ T-Centralen is definitely one of the most impressive and memorable metro stations in Stockholm.

The blue and white cave-like walls covered with silhouettes, industrial shapes, and floral patterns create a calm, unique, and slightly surreal atmosphere.

Designed by artist Per Olof Ultvedt in the 1970s, this station feels more like an art gallery than a transit hub. The rough, natural rock ceiling combined with the soft blue shades makes it one of the most photographed stations in the city. Even though it’s usually crowded, the space still feels open and welcoming.

If you’re visiting Stockholm, I highly recommend taking a walk through T-Centralen and experiencing it for yourself. It’s a perfect example of how everyday places like a metro station can be turned...
