Stadion

Along Valhalla Avenue is the old Olympic Stadium from the 1912 games.

University art

The University is full of art. Some of which makes more sense than others.

KTH Univesitat

Around the back of Valhalla Avenue, just by the terminus of the Roslagbanan is the Kungliga Tekniska högskolan.

Roslags Näsby

Just south of Täby Centrum the Roslagsbanan splits into two different lines at Roslags Näsby.

Täby Centrum

A few stops from Djursholms Örsby is Täby Centrum, another part of the sprawling suburbia of Stockholm.

Djursholms Örsby

Coming back from Näsby on the Roslagsbanan I changed at Djursholms Örsby to explore a different branch.

Näsby

Taking the narrow guage railway from Mörby, Näsby Park looked like an interesting place to visit. Its not. The Näsby Slott, although rebuilt after its fire in 1897 now houses a conference centre and has the air of somewhere with attack dogs roaming the grounds on weekends. So I didn’t explore inside the razor wire fence.

Hagästra

At the southern end of the green line is Hagästra, predictably another concrete wasteland of suburbia, with little in the way of redeeming features except for a shop selling delicious strawberries.
