Bromma city district

Bromma is a city district in western Stockholm that blends residential areas with commercial and industrial zones across its landscape. The terrain includes parks, forests, and Lake Judarn, which provide open space alongside the built neighborhoods.

The district was created in 1997 as part of Stockholm's municipal reorganization and replaced the former Västerled district in 1999. This change reflected evolving administrative needs in the growing western suburbs.

The district comprises 24 separate neighborhoods, including Abrahamsberg, Blackeberg, and Nockeby, each with its own character and local identity. Walking through these areas, you notice how different residential sections maintain their own community spaces and gathering points.

The district is well connected by public transportation with metro and bus stations throughout the area. You can navigate between neighborhoods on foot or by bicycle, and there are plenty of parks to explore at a relaxed pace.

Bromma Church houses medieval wall paintings by artist Albertus Pictor that remain nearly intact from centuries ago. These frescoes offer a rare glimpse into religious art as it was created and experienced during the Middle Ages.
