How Can We Help?
Vårby gård is a station in the Stockholm metro in the Vårby district of Huddinge Municipality. The station was opened on 1 October 1972 as part of the extension from Vårberg to Fittja.[2]
As part of Art in the Stockholm metro project, the station features a Flora mural, created by Rolf Bergström 1999.[3]
On 7 January 2018, an explosion just outside the station killed a man in his 60s and injured his wife. The man is believed to have picked up a suspected hand grenade from the ground. There was no evidence it was related to terrorism or that the couple were targeted.[4][5][6]
