Gåshaga

Gåshaga is a district in Lidingö Municipality that functions as a major transport hub where a light rail line meets the waterfront. The area brings together connections to the archipelago and the mainland through two different types of transportation at a single location.

The rail line to this area closed in 1946 and remained dormant for more than 50 years. A major reconstruction effort reopened service in 2001, restoring the link to this eastern section of the island.

The neighborhood exemplifies the Swedish balance of urban development and natural spaces, with designated paths connecting residential areas to water activities.

The area is easiest to reach by light rail or by boat from Stockholm's harbor. Walking paths connect the waterfront to nearby neighborhoods and make exploration on foot straightforward.

The location marks the eastern terminus of Stockholm's light rail system at specific coordinates near the water. For decades, travelers knew this as the final stop before the line was dormant, giving it a special place in locals' memories.
