Things to Do  

The Alby Church

The Cottage: Brit Spot

The Cottage: Brit Spot, Sundbyberg

Sundbyberg Inn: Good Chinese at Sundbyberg Inn, Sundbyberg

Den Galne Kusen: Den Galne Kusen

Den Galne Kusen: Den Galne Kusen, Sundbyberg

 vec Says:  Den Galne Kusen (The Mad Horse) is the best restaurant in the Rissne area of Sundyberg. The food is ok, but it can sometime be a bit to little taste. One strange detail is the fluorescent laps in the restaurant, which makes the paper napkins and even the teeth to shine. This...

The Stockholm Subway sign

The best way to get to Sundbyberg is by the subway. From Stockholm central station you reach Sundbyberg with the 'blue line' towards Hjulsta.

The subway is running from early morning to late night.
Weekdays from around 05.00 to 01.00.
Weekends from around 06.00 to 03.00.

A single standard ticket from Stockholm Central Station to Sundbyberg cost 30 SEK. Buying some travel card is though recommended.

Tourist Traps

Statues in the Lilla Alby park

In the area called Lilla Alby, you can find this city park, with some statues, and a lot of grass for resting. The sad thing is though that the park isn't in the best condition. It could be a nice place for resting and enjoying a sunny summer day, but the grass is not green enough, and too many people are use the park for resting their dogs.

Unique Suggestions: Watch the statues.

Fun Alternatives: Take a walk by the water at near by Bälstaån instead.

Centrumkyrkan - Central Church

Centrumkyrkan - Central Church, Sundbyberg
