Högdalen

Högdalen (the High Valley) is a suburban district in South Stockholm, Sweden, built around the metro station with this name on line 19.

It was connected to Stockholm City Centre in 1954,[1] three years after the town planning of the Högdalen district was approved.

Högdalen (High Valley) is roughly divided between the residential and commercial areas near the metro station in the centre and the industrial area and landfill further to the east.

Notable landmarks in Högdalen are the neon rooster on top of an apartment block in the commercial area, and the golden rooster on top of the local church.

The independent theatre group Fria Teatern [sv] is based in Högdalen, where its main stage is located (there is a small one in Kungsholmen as well).
