Solna Municipality

Solna Municipality is a municipality in Stockholm County, Sweden, stretching directly north of the capital and encompassing both densely populated neighborhoods and extensive green areas. The area connects urban residential districts with forests, lakes, and historic estates scattered throughout the municipal territory.

Archaeological finds confirm settlement since the Viking Age, when trade routes and settlements emerged here. During the 17th century, the area developed into a preferred location for royal residences and noble estates.

The name derives from the old Swedish phrase for 'sun island,' referring to its position on a former island. Today, residents use the many parks along Lake Brunnsviken for walks and leisure activities.

Six metro stations and two commuter train stations connect the municipality to central Stockholm, offering frequent links throughout the day. Many green areas are reachable on foot or by bicycle, providing quiet paths through wooded zones.

The national urban park area extends across the municipal border, protecting forests and waterways within a few kilometers of the city center. Deer and foxes live here in direct proximity to residential areas and sports facilities.
