Söderort, Southern district in Stockholm, Sweden
Söderort is the southern district of Stockholm comprising six different boroughs with residential neighborhoods, shopping areas, and green spaces throughout. The region features a diverse mix of housing types, shops, and parks scattered across its expanse.
Söderort became part of Stockholm Municipality in 1913, triggering rapid urban growth and population increase over the following decades. This merger shaped how the southern areas developed and expanded over time.
The district brings together different communities, with neighborhoods like Skärholmen and Farsta showing varied building styles and ways of living. You can observe how older and newer residential areas exist side by side in the daily rhythm of these streets.
The district connects to central Stockholm through an extensive public transport network including metro, buses, and local trains centered around the Älvsjö hub. Getting around without a car is straightforward thanks to these frequent connections.
Within this district lies the Woodland Cemetery, designed with architectural brilliance by Gunnar Asplund and serving as the burial place for notable Swedish figures. This peaceful burial ground often goes overlooked despite its architectural and cultural significance to visitors.
