Solna borders with Stockholm to the south, southeast and northwest; with Sundbyberg in the west; Sollentuna to the north; and finally Danderyd to the northeast.

Solna is served by the Stockholm public transport system with buses, Metro and the commuter trains run by SL. It was served by trams until 1959, and new routes are planned.
With few exceptions, Solna's built-up areas have a suburban character, but there are also several large parks and Sweden's national football stadium Råsunda, adjacent to Solna Centrum shopping centre and Metro station.
