Where to stay in Gröndal
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Färgfabriken sits inside Gröndal. Rooms here belong to the working suburb that grew around the Liljeholmen freight station, so a stay in Gröndal is a stay in Söderort, with Gröndals kyrka and the valley ground of the name in place of the sights of the centre. The Hägersten-Liljeholmen borough administers it.
Anyone choosing this address takes a residential base in the southern suburbs of Stockholm and rides in for the museums, which suits longer stays better than one-night stops.

About Gröndal
What are the main landmarks in Gröndal?
Gröndal lists two names. Färgfabriken and Gröndals kyrka stand in a district whose fabric came from industry, the works and housing that followed the opening of the Liljeholmen freight station. The name says green valley.
Beyond those two, Gröndal holds the ordinary streets of a suburb that Stockholm absorbed with Brännkyrka in 1913.
What is the history of Gröndal?
Industry arrived with the Liljeholmen freight station in the 1860s, and the working suburb that followed filled the valley with housing and works, giving Gröndal the character its name only half suggests. Brännkyrka governed it first. Gröndal belonged to the Liljeholmen municipal community inside the Brännkyrka municipality until 1913, when Brännkyrka was incorporated into the city of Stockholm.
The city's 1926 district list places it in the borough now written Hägersten-Liljeholmen, within Söderort.
Where is Gröndal?
Gröndal takes its name from the green valley it occupies, in Söderort, the southern suburban part of Stockholm, Sweden.
