The station is the next northbound from T-Centralen (towards Norsburg on Line 14 and Fruängen on Line 14) and this is where the lines split, so the next station is Karlaplan towards Ropsten on Line 13 and Stadion towards Mörby centrum). The station opened in 1965 so it's relatively modern with two accessible exits, one by Östermalmstorg and one by Stureplan. The one we took today went diagonally upwards. The station has interesting artwork that I absolutely didn't understand today. [Review 18704 overall - 39 in Sweden - 2227 of 2022.]

Östermalmstorg metro station is a station on the red line of the Stockholm metro, located in the…read moredistrict of Östermalm and is the main station serving Stureplan, it is in the city centre and not too far away from Central Station. The station is one of the deepest stations within the system - but still, it doesn't compare to London Underground levels as surprisingly I could still get a full and decent mobile signal within the signal which I found common on the network - I'm not sure if that is down to the depth of the station or the strength of 3 in Sweden, my carrier while I was in the country. - This station is 23 meters below sea level. Inside, it isn't the nicest of stations but it is made nicer by the artwork from various artists, without it it would be an ugly mess. It requires three lifts to get out of the station due to its depth and I must add the third lift is surely in need of renovation as for multiple days it had a strong stench of urine to the point I'm guessing it hasn't been cleaned for a long time - however one of the entrances to the station is on a rough side-street where many homeless people do hang around which could be why. It is only on the red line (T13 and T14) but this is okay as it is only one stop away from T-Centralen where you can change for many more services - or stay on to the likes of Gamla Stam and Slussen on both lines. Not the greatest station on the network and surprisingly understaffed for such a central location but still in a nice location with some good artwork to warrant an extra star. 2*

It is located just under a mile away from Slussen, which is where I stayed during my time in the city. It uses island platforms and is on all green lines (T17, T18, T19) which all go on slightly different routes between Rådmansgatan and T-Centralen. The station seemed to be layed out much better and clearer than other stations with signs saying "this platform for Central Station" for example - I have found that many other stations on the network did appear to be too large and difficult to navigate, but it didn't seem to be much of a problem here. The tiling here has been preserved so you won't see the same levels of art etc you see at other stations, which is a shame as Stockholm's Metro has some of the best underground metro art I've seen at any subway throughout Europe. It did appear to be understaffed for a metro station in such a central part of Stockholm, and it didn't seem to compare to other nearby stations in Stockholm centre which seemed to either be more modern or have more facilities but still, it is in a good location, again it is a shame the red line hasn't been connected through here like both stations either side of here on at least one route so it could mean changing to get on with your journey. 2*

Simple laziness on my part, I was walking back from Riddarholmskyrkan to the Hilton Slussen and so…read moreI took the metro ONE stop to Slussen t-bana. It is sort of under the Centralbron bridge and underground though it has some crosswind from the outside. In the winter, this is not a place to hang around. This station is part of the core of the city center and the red and green lines converge through here. The station is also the closest to the old town tourist district so I would expect it to be more appealing to visitors. Signage was decent and I spotted the usual turnstiles and ticket vending machines. There were t-bana staff about and security. The station has two island platforms for four parallel tracks. The red line trains (Line 13 and 14) utilize the inner pair and the green line (Lines 17, 18 and 19) use the outside tracks. There is free inside transfer between the lines.

The station did seem a little dirtier than other stations - it is one of the few on the network which does seem to attract homeless people in certain areas. I didn't find there to be any staff at the station, which for me during a difficult period with the lift breaking down with no prior notice (you wouldn't know the lift has broken down until you physically get off the train) to be quite poor form as there should be someone or something reminding or informing people of these problems, and helping them get around them without too much delay or distress. It really does need to fix cleanliness and access and perhaps make Gamla Stan, a fairly central station in Stockholm's metro network, a staffed station. 1*

Compared to other stations - it seemed a little understaffed and the artwork wasn't as impressive - in many areas the station just felt bare, it felt like it was trying to copy T-Centralen but just a worse version. Parts of the station could be signposted better and kept better (in terms of cleanliness, overall feel etc) as I was a little confused leaving the station towards East Station. A much-needed station to connect onto the Roslagbanan, in what is far from the nicest part of the city of Stockholm. 2*

T-Centralen where "T" is an abreviation for "tunnelbana" that is the Swedish word for underground. Lots of escalators and many lifts. This is the only station where all of the subway lines meet and is therefore the busiest station in the Swedish network with an underground underpass to the Stockholm Central Station (for national and regional trains) where we caught the Arlanda Express to the airport. Both of the blue lines (Lines 10 and 11), both of the red lines (Lines 13 and 14) and all three of the green lines (Lines 17, 18 and 19). Thankfully, there's a great color map that shows what's what and where. Many food and shopping opportunities. Luggage storage areas. Several places to sit and rest. We were through here several times and never had time to properly explore. It was a connecting point and a good one for that. [Review 18722 overall - 56 in Sweden - 2245 of 2022.]

Stockholm's Tunnelbana system is just as good as any of them. I bought a seven day pass and that meant I didn't need to be concerned about whether or not a one-stop trip was a good use of my money. I was on and off and on and off. The pass is valid on the trams and the buses too! Good signage and easy to operate though I only got lost once or twice. You need to know which is the last station on your line so you know you're headed in the right direction. Most of the stations have lifts or escalators. Some stations have staff. A few stations have indicators of the next train and how long you're going to need to wait for it. The trains are frequent enough and they are definitely clean. I did not see litter in the system and I did not experience anyone walking the train begging or selling stuff. [Review 18784 overall - 90 in Sweden - 2307 of 2022.]

As an Emerald member with the oneworld alliance, I have always received complimentary seat selection on partner airlines. That changed with Royal Jordanian.

You could also say it is not a typical subway station, but very few of the stations in Stockholm are typical since most of them feature a theme or special artwork. The theme of the Thorildsplan subway station is 8-bit games. On the wall mosaic you'll see references to Super Mario Brothers on the 8-bit NES, as well as Pac-Man with ghost (not sure what port of Pac-Man the sprites are taken from). Worth a visit for the retro gaming geek that want to do it all, non-geeky friends may not appreciate it to the same extent. :) There is not much else on the station but it is close to Rålambshovsparken which is very nice to stroll around on the way into the city. To get there, take the subway (doh!), green line towards west (towards Åkeshov, Vällingby or Hässelby Strand among others).
