Central Sundbyberg

Central Sundbyberg (Swedish: Centrala Sundbyberg) is the oldest and longest-established part of Sundbyberg Municipality in Sweden. It is a railway town and one of Stockholm's oldest satellite towns, built around Sundbyberg railway station which opened in 1876.^[1] Its proximity to Stockholm City Centre, nostalgic environment and well-connected transport networks has made this part of town an attractive housing area.

Forms of public transport include the Stockholm Metro (Tunnelbanan), Stockholm commuter rail (Pendeltåg) and SL buses. Trams returned to Sundbyberg in 2013 after 54 years of absence when Tvärbanan was expanded from Alvik to Solna. Tracks are laid in one of the main streets with two stops in this area.

On the small streets of Central Sundbyberg, there are boutiques, restaurants, banks and other important services.^[2]
