Tuna: Local History, Church and Walking Routes

Tuna brings together insights into urban development, church architecture and regional culture with practical routes and bus connections. If you are planning a hotel stay, it is worth looking at the places that matter for your trip: Tuna torg, Tumba kyrka or the walking routes in the area. This helps you understand the destination in light of your interests without treating different reference points as one and the same.

Tuna torg and the development of the area

Tuna developed in the 1960s near the cultural landscape of Tumba bruk. As described in 2025, the site around Tuna torg included a traffic-separated square, two low-rise central buildings, a park area to the south, and a lawn with a small playground. The buildings within the detailed development plan area have since been demolished. As of May 29, 2026, construction was tentatively scheduled to begin in autumn 2026. If Tuna torg is a destination on your trip, check the current status of the project beforehand.

Tumba kyrka: architecture and activities

Tumba kyrka is located on traditionally church-owned land in Tuna and was completed in the early 1970s. The building consists of a large church hall and two side wings. The church thus combines a historic connection to the site with a clearly articulated design—a point of interest if you are interested in church architecture and local history.

Services, lunchtime music and choir events are held at the church every week. Check the current schedule if you would like to plan your visit around a particular event. The Tuna stop is about 60 metres from Tumba kyrka and is served by several SL bus lines.

Walking routes, bus and train

The Tuna bus stop is on Tunavägen, about 100 metres west of the Tuna torg detailed development plan area. Tumba commuter rail station is about one kilometre from this area. At Tumba kyrka, the Tuna stop is about 60 metres away; this bus information therefore refers to the church, while the distance to the station and the bus stop’s location to the west refer to the detailed development plan area. Stop locations and routes can change. Check the latest information before travelling.

Footpaths along Prästgårdsvägen and Tunavägen lead to the Tuna torg detailed development plan area. Several walking and park paths also lead there and can be used by cyclists. Along Tunavägen, cyclists use a separate foot and cycle path; on Övergårdsvägen, they ride in mixed traffic. The traffic arrangements described in 2025 may change as the project evolves.

Culture and nature nearby

Tumba bruksmuseum presents the history of paper and Swedish banknotes, the work involved in making them, and the distinctive surroundings of the paper mill. It offers insight into a different aspect of regional history than the architecture of Tumba kyrka. In Tuna itself, there is a pasture with oaks, pines and aspens, as well as berry-bearing shrubs such as bearberry and blackthorn. Those interested in vegetation will find a connection to nature here, alongside the themes of urban development and church architecture.

The nearby Sven Tumbas park has a skatepark. It adds a specific destination in the vicinity of Tuna to the other points of interest, but it is not within the Tuna area.
