This entry is dedicated to the person who searched for information about Greta Garbo's grave on my Swedish blog :)

Greta Garbo is buried at Skogskyrkogården, Woodland Cemetary, not very far from where I live. Take Subway 18 (green line) and get off at Skogskyrkogården. The cemetary is right next to the station, you can't miss it.

Greta Garbo's grave is marked on the map at the cemetary entrance but a bit difficult to find anyway. The easiest way is to first find Skogskapellet, The Woodland Chapel, and from there follow the straight path on the right hand side of the building.

The Woodland Cemetary was put on UNESCO's world heritage list 1994. It's a very beautiful and peaceful place and definately worth a visit if you come to Stockholm.

A cable-fire somewhere in the underground system caused the trains to run on ten-minutes-traffic during the worst rush-hour this morning. T-Centralen, where all three underground lines meet in Stockholm, was crowded and I climbed on to a bench to get a better overview.

I love to commute. Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel is one of the best invention ever made. When it works...
