It goes without saying that Stockholm metro trains are clean, bright and efficient.

But the subway experience is also artful, like so much else in Sweden.

All subway stations have some kind of cheerful art.

It might be on tunnel walls.

Or it might be on the floor. And the floor is almost always clean enough to drop something without worrying about the 5-second rule.

A piece of sculpture might greet you as you enter.

Or museum artifacts might have a special spot in a station.

In beautiful art-filled Stockholm, there’s always something to see–even underground.
