Huddinge Municipality

Huddinge is a municipality across the central Södertörn peninsula south of Stockholm, featuring forests, lakes, and farmland. The area contains multiple nature reserves that form a green structure running through its different districts.

The area has records from around 1000 years ago when residents used beacon fires around Lake Mälaren to signal approaching ships. These early warning systems show how long the region has been inhabited and connected to water routes.

The municipality hosts cultural centers and a university that shape daily life for residents across its districts. These institutions serve as gathering places for community events and educational activities that support local life.

The area connects well to Stockholm's transport network through metro stations, suburban rail, and bus routes. These connections make it easy to move around within the municipality and reach central Stockholm.

The Kungens Kurva shopping district holds one of the world's largest IKEA stores, which draws shoppers from far beyond the local area. This retail hub has become a defining landmark of the municipality.
