Got the opportunity to explore a bit of the Stockholm metro system, which markets itself as a huge art exhibition. The lines in green on the metro map are vaguely New York-y, with one station jazzed up with crazy neon.
The Blue Lines are quite different, however. They seem to be (perhaps because they are) hewn from rock. It's like installing a metro system in Wookey Hole.
Solna Centrum in particular has been given a fetchingly vibrant paint job.
The escalators are gorgeously glossy, and look like a Art Deco Christmas installation.
I suspect that, at 22 quid, a three-day metro pass might be the cheapest thing you can actually buy in Stockholm.
