Funicular Railway To The Top
In February 2010 a funicular railway known as Skyview opened on the outside of the arena which takes visitors to the top for a virtually unobstructed view over Stockholm. There is no known such arrangement elsewhere in the world. Each of the two gondolas accommodates 16 passengers who will be 130 meters high when at the top.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or top:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
