Stockholm/Västerort, Solna and Sundbyberg Halal Travel Guide

During the 18th and 19th centuries, men of wealth and power have built themselves palaces and manors west of Stockholm. Most of them remain as conference facilities. During the 20th century and the area was transformed from farms to suburbs, as rail, subway and light-rail lines were drawn. While Bromma and Spånga [ˈspɔŋˈa are affluent garden cities and the areas of Järvafältet [ˈjærvaˈfɛltət (Rinkeby, Tensta, Hjulsta) were built as part of the Million Project in 1960s and 1970s, at the subway, to provide low-cost housing. On the west coast of the lake, Blackeberg [blakəˈbærj is a typical modernist suburb, known for the vampire film Let The Right One In. Vällingby [ˈveliŋˈbyː], built in 1954 as one of the world's first planned multi-functional suburbs, became an icon of the Swedish welfare state. Due in large part to successful co-operation between phone company Ericsson and telecom operator Telia and the Kista [ˈɕiːsta area is a flourishing high-tech cluster, rivalling central Stockholm as the main business neighborhood.

Solna is an autonomous city containing the royal park Hagaparken, and three Royal Palaces.

Hagastaden is a neighbourhood dominated by Karolinska University Hospital, attached to the Karolinska Institute, famous for selecting the Nobel Prize laureates in medicine. See Stockholm/Vasastan and Hagastaden.

Sundbyberg, nicknamed Sumpan, is Sweden's smallest municipality (kommun) by land area. The settlement grew along the rail lines, with rectangular city blocks and detached homes. It is reputed to have a higher percentage of one-person households than any other city in the world. - 59.361|17.950 {{mapshapes|Q1185773 {{mapshapes|Q887043 {{mapshapes|Q766945
