Solna Centrum in between them.
Solna is served by the
Stockholm Public Transport System with buses,
Metro and the commuter trains run by
SL . It was served by
Tram s until
1959 , and new routes are planned.
With few exceptions, Solna's built-up areas have a
Suburb an character, but there are also several large parks and Sweden's national football stadium
Råsunda , adjacent to
Solna Centrum shopping centre and
Metro station.
Solna has a lot of companies and authorities, making it a major place of work in the
Stockholm Urban Area . Among the most important employers are the medical university
Karolinska Institutet and the
Karolinska University Hospital . The
European Centre For Disease Prevention And Control (ECDC) is also located in Solna.
As everyone of the 290
Municipalities Of Sweden Solna has a
Municipal Council (''kommunfullmäktige''), which in this case has 61 members, elected by
Proportional Representation for a four-year term. It appoints an executive committee (''kommunstyrelse'') among its members.
- The Solna church was constructed in the 12th century. For defensive purposes, it was built as a round-church, and is one of few of that kind in Sweden.
