PHOTOGRAPHY: STADION T-BANA

Located in the district of Östermalm, and - unsurprisingly - just near the Stockholm Olympic Stadium, Stadion metro station is one of the most colourful on the T-Bana system. It is on the T14 (Red) line which runs between Mörby Centrum and Fruängen (in between Östermalmstorg and Tekniska Högskolan).

The walls are painted bright blue and are decorated with the shields of Swedish sports clubs that were around at the time of the 1912 Summer Olympic Games. The other main feature of the station are the huge rainbows that are painted on the ceilings of the cave-like accesses between platforms. The colours used symbolise the colours of the Olympic Rings, and somewhat fittingly, the colours of Gay Pride, which this year will be held very close to the Stadium,
