Location

Vårby gård is a station in the Stockholm metro in the Vårby district of Stockholm. The station was opened in 1972.

As part of Art in the Stockholm metro project, the station features a Flora mural, created by Rolf Bergström 1999.[1]

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.[2][3][4]
