About the city
Solna, a city immediately north of central Stockholm, is one of the most important destinations for sports, concerts and major events in the metropolitan area of the Swedish capital. A particular highlight is Arenastaden, a modern urban district with a major stadium, shopping facilities, restaurants and hotels, allowing visitors to combine a football match or concert with a complete city experience. Its proximity to Stockholm provides easy access to an extensive choice of entertainment, accommodation and dining, while Solna itself offers a more convenient base for events held in its arenas and sports complexes.
Getting around the city relies on the SL public transport system, which includes Pendeltåg commuter trains, the Tunnelbana metro, the Tvärbanan light railway and numerous bus routes. Solna station and Ulriksdal are connected by commuter trains to Stockholm City station, while different parts of the city can be reached through Solna centrum, Näckrosen, Huvudsta, Solna strand, Västra skogen and Bergshamra stations. Tvärbanan connects Solna station, Solna centrum and Solna Business Park, while Stockholm Central, Stockholm City and T-Centralen serve as the main transport hubs for onward travel across the region. Visitors arriving by air most commonly use Stockholm Arlanda Airport, while Bromma Stockholm Airport provides an additional option for selected domestic and regional flights.
Hotels, restaurants, cafés and shopping facilities in different price categories are available around Arenastaden and Solna centrum. Accommodation in Solna is particularly convenient for visitors attending major matches and concerts because it reduces the need for a long journey after an event while still providing quick access to central Stockholm. Thanks to the well-developed transport network, an event in Solna can easily be combined with dinner, shopping or sightseeing across the wider urban area.
Before or after an event, visitors can explore Hagaparken, an extensive historic park beside Lake Brunnsviken, which forms part of the Royal National City Park. Another attractive destination is Ulriksdal Palace, with its park and walking paths beside Edsviken, while the landmarks of central Stockholm, including Gamla stan, are only a short public transport journey away. The combination of major events, efficient transport connections and green spaces makes Solna a practical and appealing destination for sports supporters, music enthusiasts and visitors from around the world.
