Live in Hagastaden

In the attractive and dynamic Hagastaden, urban energy and nature blend seamlessly. Its spectacular architecture adds an international touch to Stockholm’s inner city, with the iconic Norra Tornen towering high above the skyline, visible from across the city. Here, work, life, and leisure come together effortlessly, with everything you need close by.

The district offers preschools, schools, and childcare, as well as parks, vast green spaces, and scenic walking paths—both within Hagastaden and just a short stroll away in Hagaparken and Vasaparken. Essential services like grocery stores, pharmacies, cafés, restaurants, gyms, and spas are readily available, and the area is well-connected with excellent transport options.

Hagastaden is designed for modern urban living, where innovation and research shape everyday life. From self-checkout when buying wine to rooftop jogging tracks and locally grown salad in the grocery store, the district embraces the future in a way that makes life both convenient and inspiring.

A Thriving Food & Drink Scene

In Hagastaden, you can start your day with a coffee in the lively atmosphere of Torsplan, choose from a variety of restaurants for lunch, enjoy dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant, and end the evening with drinks on one of the district’s many rooftop terraces. There’s something for every taste.

If you prefer to grab lunch to go, you’ll find plenty of inviting spots to enjoy your meal outdoors—whether in the sun, under a shady tree, or beside one of the many artworks scattered throughout both indoor and outdoor spaces in the district.

The Cell – Exploring Life Science Through Art

Tekniska Museet (Museum of Science & Technology) has opened The Cell on the ground floor of Forskaren, where art helps explain life science through exhibitions and educational programs. On weekdays, The Cell is a space for schools, while evenings and weekends offer art and music experiences, as well as discussions on current exhibitions. The initiative is led by Tekniska Museet, Sweden’s largest technology museum, with Karolinska Institutet as a knowledge partner.

Stockholm Gallery District – Contemporary Art in a Unique Setting

Hagastaden is home to its own gallery hub, Stockholm Gallery District. Located in industrial buildings from 1929 at the corner of Hudiksvallsgatan and Gävlegatan, five top galleries showcase both Swedish and international contemporary art. Inspired by Chelsea’s Art Gallery District in New York, this area invites visitors to explore multiple galleries and immerse themselves in new artistic impressions.

Public Art Around Every Corner

Public art in Hagastaden is strategically placed in high-traffic areas, making it easily accessible to everyone.

• Look up at Vanadisplan when taking the escalator from the commuter train at Stockholm Odenplan station, and you’ll see "Life Line" by David Svensson—a 350 sqm light installation depicting his son’s heartbeat before birth, symbolizing life and connecting to the district’s life science theme.
• Karolinska University Hospital hosts Sweden’s largest public art initiative, with over 50 artists contributing and 20 site-specific works commissioned.
• Hagaplan Square will feature "Inflyttarna" by Johanna Karlin. 
• In Norra Stationsparken, the artwork "Och eller inte" by the collective Brrum—Ulrika Karlsson, Cecilia Lundbäck, and Veronica Skeppe—is inspired by the Rörstrand porcelain factory that once stood nearby.

Public art is also integrated into office buildings, entrances, bike lanes, and facades, making creativity a visible part of everyday life in Hagastaden.
