Frequently asked questions

Questions about the district: what it is, what is being built and how to get here. And about the directory: where the facts come from and how you update your business's page.

What is Hagastaden?

A new district built on the deck over the E4/E20 motorway and the Värtabanan railway, in both Stockholm and Solna. Residential blocks meet Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institutet and one of Europe's largest life-science clusters.

What is being built in Hagastaden right now?

The green metro line is being extended from Odenplan towards Arenastaden with its own Hagastaden station and entrances at Torsplan and Hagaplan. Its opening is planned for the fourth quarter of 2028, but since Region Stockholm's review in September 2026 it is expected in the fourth quarter of 2029 – no new timetable has been decided. Norra Stationsparken is under construction, and further build-out is planned on the Solna side. The City of Stockholm's vaxer.stockholm has the details.

Where do I find housing in Hagastaden?

The Stockholm side's residential blocks are essentially complete, and new construction on the Solna side lies further ahead. The developers' and the city's own pages have the current picture.

How do I get to Hagastaden?

Today Odenplan is the nearest metro and commuter-rail station, within walking distance of Torsplan. The green metro line is getting its own Hagastaden station, with entrances at Torsplan, Hagaplan and in the hospital area. Its opening is planned for the fourth quarter of 2028, but since Region Stockholm's review in September 2026 it is expected in the fourth quarter of 2029 – no new timetable has been decided. By car: Stockholm Parkering's garage under the blocks on the Stockholm side and the visitor garage at Karolinska on the Solna side.

What's on in the district?

The Cell at Hagaplan runs tours, talks with researchers and a weekly programme, the hotel Blique by Nobis has live nights and stand-up, and the galleries on Hudiksvallsgatan show exhibitions. The dates are on the events page as the organisers give them. The property owners' hagastaden.se tells the district's development story.

What is this website?

A directory of restaurants, cafés, shops and services in Hagastaden – at street level, in the hospital area and on campus – with opening hours, menus and lunches in one place.

Which area does the directory cover?

Hagastaden on both sides of the municipal border: Torsplan, Hagaesplanaden and the eastern stretch of Norra Stationsgatan in Stockholm, plus Hagaplan, the hospital area and the KI campus in Solna. Odenplan and western Vasastan are outside.

Where does the information come from?

Businesses that have claimed their page update it themselves. Other pages are filled from the businesses' own websites and the chains' store pages – never from guesses – and below the opening hours and menus are the source and when it was last checked.

How do I claim my business page?

What can I change as an owner?
