La mouth of hell is located in the Stockholm Metro. Walls that seem to belong to a cave and a fiery red color: the stop Solna Center offers an impressive spectacle to its visitors or, better said, to travelers who choose the metro to reach the various points of the city. In fact, Stockholm boasts not only a particularly efficient metro, but also a very artistic one. Inside there is the longest art gallery in the world: a underground universe everything to discover, where every stop is something unique and inimitable.



The metro in the Swedish capital has 110 stations, of which 90 are real works of art. During the construction of the tunnels the rock walls were not covered, leaving a wavy and very particular "cave effect". The same one we find at Solna Center, where it seems that the mouth of hell has opened. The ceilings are a disturbing fiery red, so much so that upon arriving visitors feel catapulted into the devil's home.

Each station has a particularity: in that of The T-central there are hundreds of tiles from the 1950s, while in that of Kungstradgarden an archaeological excavation with splendid Roman columns has been reproduced. Other stops feature futuristic sculptures, still others are inspired by uncontaminated nature. Whatever path, take it the metro in Stockholm It's always a fantastic experience.

The city's subway was inaugurated way back in 1950, while seven years later the Government decided to transform it into an art gallery. In sixty years, over 150 artists have left their mark on the stations, decorating them in a particular and sending important messages. From this point of view, every journey on the tracks is a cultural discovery, just buy a ticket and that's it. There are different formulas: not only single or hourly tickets, but also those that allow you to take part in fascinating guided tours.
