Regular trains serve the airport through a third station, Arlanda Central, located under Sky City between terminal 4 and 5. Line 38 of the Stockholm suburban rail . pendeltg . runs from Uppsala via Stockholm Central Station to lvsj (with Stockholm International Fairs), stopping in the northern suburbs, with peak hour services continuing to the southern suburbs of Huddinge and Tumba. The train runs twice an hour and takes 37 minutes to Stockholm, and local transport tickets can be used and bought at the entrance to the station, though everyone 18 of age has to pay a station access fee of 85 SEK (though young adults with a teenage appearance can easily claim to be under 18 and get through - the staff usually wont check your ID if youre confident about this). A one-way ticket to Stockholm city costs 135 SEK including the station access fee (110 SEK for people 18-20 and 40 SEK for people under 18, though again, people 18-20 can often get a 40 SEK ticket by claiming to be under 18). For 200 SEK (145 SEK for people 18-20 and 70 SEK for people under 18) you can get a 24-hour travelcard. These prices all include the station access fee, if applicable. See 9 for local transport tickets. There are also faster regional trains on the Linkping - Stockholm - Gvle route, which cost 278 SEK (2nd class) to central Stockholm if bought on the spot, though if booked approx. 1-2 months in advance, they can be as cheap as 95 SEK. They run non-stop and take 20 minutes, like the Arlanda Express, but only operate hourly (with several strange gaps), but if you are on time the regional train can be much cheaper than Arlanda Express, though not quite as cheap as suburban rail or SL bus. Finally, long-distance trains from Stockholm operate to points in central Sweden, such as Ume, Mora or stersund. It is not, however, permitted to use these trains to travel from the airport to central Stockholm. See 10 for regionalintercity rail tickets. By local bus and rail combination 11. If the station access fee for the direct suburban rail service bothers you, local bus 583 connects the airport to Mrsta railway station, and changing to a suburban train (line 36) will get you to central Stockholm in 65 minutes, for a regular public-transport fee, which is 72 SEK for a one-way trip (50 SEK with SL Access card). Several kinds of discounted tickets can be purchased at the airport, making this route the cheapest but by far the slowest way to get to and from Arlanda, and unless on an extreme budget, taking the direct suburban train is arguably worth it, see Regular rail section above. See the Get Around section for more details on the SL services and ticketing system. By taxi . Major taxi companies operate on a fixed price basis between Arlanda and central Stockholm. Prices at the taxi stands currently range from 450 SEK (Transfer Taxi) to 520 SEK. Generally, you can freely choose among the waiting taxis or ask the operator for a specific company. There is free taxi pricing so beware of the smaller, expensive, taxi companies. A yellow and white sign with price comparison (per 10160km and 15 minutes) is on every taxi window, and the price should not ever be more than 350 SEK. A taxi ride to central Stockholm takes approximately 40 minutes. With some companies, you can get a lower price if you pre-book your ride. With Airport Cab (46 8 25 25 23 12 ) the cost is 430160SEK from Arlanda to Stockholm, 390160SEK from Stockholm to Arlanda. With Taxi Solna (46 8 280 280 13 ) the cost is 445 SEK from Arlanda to Stockholm, 350160SEK from Stockholm to Arlanda. See the Taxi section below for some general advice on taxi travel in Stockholm. By car . See Sigtuna for car rental at Arlanda Airport. Bromma Airport . (IATA. BMA ICAO. ESSB ) is a smaller airport, located inside the city about 8 km west of the centre, mainly used for domestic flights, but also Copenhagen and Aarhus in Denmark, Oslo and Skien in Norway, Tallinn in Estonia and Brussels in Belgium. Airport coaches 14 offer a more expensive connection to the City Terminal at 79160SEK, taking 20 min. A cheaper option (36 SEK, 20 SEK for people under 20) is to take local bus 152 to Sundbyberg station, and from there a suburban train to Stockholm Central (taking 25 min in total). Skavsta Airport (IATA. NYO ICAO. ESKN ) mostly used by Ryanair and Wizzair, and offers flights from cities such as Berlin, Belgrade, Brussels, Budapest, Dublin, Edinburgh, London, Madrid, Rome, Skopje, Tallinn, Vilnius and Warsaw. Located 100 km (62 mi) southwest of Stockholm, near the town Nykping. The easiest option is to take Airport coaches 15 go tofrom the City Terminal in Stockholm. Adults 139 SEK online or 159160SEK at the bus terminal one way 278 SEK online, 285 SEK at the bus terminal round trip. The travel time is about 80 minutes. A cheaper option if booked in advance is to take local bus 515 (timetable 16. M-F Mo-Fr, L Sa, SoH Su holidays) to Nykping rail station ( get off at Nykping Centralstation ), from where SJ regional trains (timetable 17 ) on the Linkping - Stockholm - (Gvle) route connect to Stockholm (Gvle trains also serve Arlanda, thus providing a direct rail connection to Arlanda airport). The bus costs SEK 26 (SEK 13 for people below 20) and the train SEK 75-143 (SEK 67-127 for people below 26) depending on how early you book. Tickets can be bought the following two ways: 1.

Pay for the local bus onboard with your VISA or Mastercard (cash is NOT accepted) and buy the train ticket at Nykping station. Travel time from Skavsta is 80 min to Stockholm and 100 min to Arlanda airport. Vsters Airport (IATA. VST ICAO. ESOW ) is situated 100 km west of Stockholm near Vsters. Serves Ryanair flights tofrom London (Stansted). Like Skavsta, Vsters can be reached in two ways: Airport coaches 19 go tofrom the City Terminal in Stockholm. 139 SEK one way, 278SEK round trip, takes about 80 minutes. Local bus 3 runs between the airport and Vsters traib station in 15 minutes, costing 26 SEK one way (12 SEK for people under 20 or above 65). From the station, regional trains on the Stockholm - Vsters - rebro - (Gteborg) route (timetable 20. M-F Mo-Fr, L Sa, SoH Su holidays) connect to Stockholm in 55 min, costing SEK 75-143 (SEK 71-136 for people below 26) depending on how early you book 21 ). Total travel time Vsters Airport - Stockholm this way is 75 min. By train Edit Stockholm Main Train Station (main hall) The main station, Stockholms Central . serves both commuter and long-distance routes. It is located in lower Norrmalm, connected to T-Centralen . the central hub for the subway system, and Cityterminalen . the long-distance bus station. The national rail company, SJ, has a store located inside the station, and a travel planner with ticket booking service on its web page 22. Internationally, there are services from Copenhagen (Denmark) (5 h) and Oslo (Norway) (6 h) with several direct connections daily. A daily overnight train is available from the northern Norwegian city of Narvik (14 h). From Trondheim. a quick change in stersund is needed. There are numerous direct domestic services to Stockholm from most major cities. The major ones being high-speed X2000 services from Gothenburg (3 h), Malm (4 h), Sundsvall (3 h) and stersund (5 h). Conventional trains mostly follow the same routes, and run slightly slower, but can slash prices considerably. Most other mid-sized cities in Sweden have a train connection with Stockholm. Domestic night trains are available from Malm, and from the northern cities of Lule. Kiruna and Ume. The rail line has some very scenic views just south of Stockholm, passing over several bridges. If looking for a bit of luxury, then a new train named Bl Tget (Blue Train) 23 now travels the route Gothenburg-Stockholm-Uppsala daily except Fridays. Its slower than regular trains, taking a lengthy 4 hours to reach Stockholm but has first class seatings and a real restaurant onboard. WiFi is included in the price. By bus Edit The City Terminal ( Cityterminalen 24 ) is the main bus terminal, directly connected to Stockholm Central and the T Centralen subway station. There are multiple daily departures to most other cities in Sweden, as well as a few international routes. Swebus Express 25 operates routes to Copenhagen and Oslo with several daily departures, and a twice-weekly service to Berlin. Eurolines 26 has some departures to Copenhagen. Smaller operators offer connections with Prague. Budapest. Zagreb. Banja Luka 27 among other cities. By boat Edit Kornhamnstorg, a waterfront square in the Old Town The port of Stockholm consists of several port areas. In the summer Stadsgrden, Skeppsbron and Frihamnen are the ports favoured by the international cruise liners (see cruising the Baltic Sea ). Year round Vrtahamnen, Frihamnen and Stadsgrden have extensive ferry services, including the local Baltic Sea ferries . The Baltic Sea ferries, locally known as finlandsbtar (Finland boat), link Stockholm to Helsinki. Mariehamn and Turku in Finland. Riga in Latvia and Tallinn in Estonia every day. Stockholm is the main Swedish terminal for the Baltic Sea cruises. They are by far the cheapest way to get to and from these cities from Stockholm. Note carefully that cities and places are written and pronounced differently in Finnish and Swedish. For instance: Suomi-Finland, Ruotsi-Sverige (Sweden), Tukholma-Stockholm, Helsinki-Helsingfors, Turku-bo, Ahvenanmaa-land, Maarianhamina-Mariehamn. This is a lesser case with other Baltic Sea countries. If you intend to use the boats to travel to - or from - Stockholm, it is almost always cheaper to book a cruise ( kryssning ), or even two head-to-head cruises and discard the returns, rather than buy one-way tickets. Tickets can be had for as low as 80160SEK for a full 4-person cabin, making it practically the cheapest accommodation one can find in a high-income country - at 10160SEKnightperson for a two-night Stockholm-Helsinki return cruise (provided you book early or last minute during the weekdays), and rarely (even for a weekend cruise in high season) exceeds 400160SEK for the cheapest 4-bed cabin. A one-way ticket, for a shared berth, in comparison, usually exceeds 1000160SEK. Tallink 28 ferries to Mariehamn and Tallinn in Estonia depart from Vrtahamnen port, and ferries to Riga in Latvia from Frihamnen port. For Vrtahamnen, take the red underground line to Grdet, exit at the front, and walk 400 metres to the terminal ( the route is signposted ). Frihamnen Magasin 2, go up escalator for ATM For Frihamnen . take the red underground line Grdet, exit at the front and take bus 1 towards Frihamnen just outside the station. Go across the street in Magasin 2 for an ATM. From the Frihamnen terminal, bus 1 goes to the center of Stockholm (going along Kungsgatan, which is north of the central bus station and a block north of the central railway station). Alternatively, bus 76 towards Norra Hammarbyhamnen serves Sdermalm via Kungstrdgrden and Gamla stan. When leaving the Frihamnen terminal and heading inland, the bus stop is on the road around to the left across from the banana warehouse it has a ticket machine that only accepts credit cards (i. e. does not take cash). Silja Line 29. owned by Tallink, has ferries to Mariehamn. Helsinki and Turku departing from Vrtahamnen port. See directions above. Viking Line 30 ferries to Mariehamn. Helsinki and Turku depart from the eastern part of Stadsgrdsterminalen in northeastern Sdermalm. To get there from the city centre, take the green or red underground lines to Slussen, and take the exit for Slussenterminalen. From there take the 401 - 422, 442 - 449 or 471 bus one single stop to Londonviadukten and the port will be on your left. Alternatively normal town buses 53 and 71 link Slussen and the Viking Line terminal, albeit via the backstreets. Yet another convenient but more expensive alternative is the shuttle buses operated by Flygbussarna that go directly from the terminal to the central bus station (Cityterminalen) in the city center. The price for a ticket on these are 45160SEK (single) and 70160SEK (return) and tickets are sold on board, at Flygbussarnas and Viking Lines booths in the bus station, and if you want to buy the ticket on the bus you can do it but only pay with a credit card. There are multiple departures from the port 15-60 min after the ferry arrives and from the station 1-3 hours before the ferry departs. If you are driving to the boat, follow the signs to Slussen . then Stadsgrdsterminalen (note that Slussen is confusing for even locals, so dont feel embarrassed if you end up spinning in the intersection a few times) and then FinlandViking Line . There are big lockers at the ferry terminal for 5 euros or 50 kr. Birka Cruises 31 ferries to Mariehamn in land depart from Western Stadsgrdsterminalen, about 700 meters from Slussen (right in front of Vikings terminal). See above for instructions. Stockholm Cruise Center in Frihamnen 638, 2009 Holland America Cruises use Stadsgrdsterminalen in northeastern Sdermalm for one-day port calls and Frihamnen for turnarounds (start and end of cruises). See above for instruction. Get around Edit Public transport Edit Storstockholms Lokaltrafik, SL (Stockholm Public Transport) 32 runs an extensive subway, commuter train and bus system as well as some light rail and ferry services, all using an integrated ticket system called SL Access. The SL Access RFID card costs 20160SEK (good for six years) and can load all tickets available in the SL fare scheme. The paper strip coupon ticket system was discontinued as of 2013. There are SL Travel Cards or passes on the SL network available for 24 hours (115160SEK, 70160SEK for for childrenseniors), 72 hours (230160SEK, 140160SEK for for childrenseniors), 7 days (300160SEK, 180160SEK for for childrenseniors) and if you are going to be in Stockholm for a while, go ahead and purchase a 30-day card, which allows unrestricted160 access to all of the buses, trams, subways, and commuter trains, as well as the Djurgrden ferry, for 790160SEK. When you purchase the 72-hour Travel Card, you also receive free admission to Grna Lund (see See below). Suburban ferries, airport buses, the Arlanda Express and regional trains are not part of the SL network, and thus not included in any of these tickets. Travel cards and discount travel tickets may be bought in advance at SL Centres, Pressbyrn kiosks, or tourist information offices. Tickets cannot be bought from bus drivers. Instead, there are cash and credit card machines at most bus stops and metro entrances. The SL website has detailed ticket and price information, and a journey planner. A better trip planner for Stockholm and Sweden is ResRobot33 and best is its App for smartphones (iOS and Android). Kindly note that SL doesnt have visible information before journey that there is no travel card reader aboard to pay journey. That is especially seen on the light railtram traffic Tvrbanan. In contrast to light rail amp trams in Europe there is no reader in wagon and no visible information about that. Metro Edit Stockholm has a metro system called the Tunnelbana . commonly abbreviated T-bana . and symbolised with a blue T on a round white sign. With exactly 100 stations, it is extensive for a city of this size, and will get you around almost all the downtown places as well as many inner suburbs. Trains run from 05:00 to 01:00 on weekdays and around the clock on weekends. Night buses replace the trains on weekdays. The metro is probably the fastest way to travel to many inner suburbs not served by suburban rail, as well as offering a scenic view from the bridge between Gamla Stan and Slussen. The SL website offers a guide to the artwork that is featured in many subway stations, with nearly all stations offering some form of permanent artwork on display. The artwork on the blue line in particular is of note. Directions in Stockholm are often accompanied by the name of the closest subway stop, using T as an abbreviation for Tunnelbana, e. g. T-Gamla stan . This practice is followed below when appropriate. Suburban rail Edit Stockholm also has a suburban commuter rail network called Pendeltg . Reaching 53 stations, including Uppsala . Knivsta and Blsta in Uppsala ln (county), plus Gnesta in Sdermanlands ln (county). There are four lines: 35: (Blsta) - Kungsngen - Stockholm C - Vsterhaninge - (Nynshamn) 36: Mrsta - Stockholm C - Sdertlje C 37: Sdertlje C - Gnesta (connects with line 36 at Sdertlje hamn) 38: Uppsala - Arlanda Airport - Stockholm C - lvsj - (Tumba). Off-peak sees 4 tph (trains per hour) on lines 35 and 36 (2 tph in the bracketed sections), 2 tph on line 38 (only peak services run lvsj-Tumba) and 1 tph on line 37. Additional services run during peak hours, giving the core section Karlberg - lvsj a peak frequency of 14 tph. In the north-east, the Roslagsbanan narrow-gauge rail network connects the central stermalm district with suburbs in the Danderyd . Tby . Vallentuna and sterker municipalities. 27: Stockholms stra - Roslags Nsby - Ormsta - (Lindholmen - Krsta) 28: Stockholms stra - Roslags Nsby - kersberga - (sterskr) 29: Stockholms stra - Djursholms sby - Nsbypark Off-peak sees 4 tph (1-2 tph in the bracketed section) on lines 27 and 28, 2 tph on line 29. The station Stockholms stra is directly adjacent to T-Tekniska hgskolan on the red line towards Mrby centrum . Saltsjbanan starts adjacent to T-Slussen and reaches the suburbs Saltsjbaden and Solsidan . south-east of the city. Suburban trains are included in Stockholms transport ticket system, with the exception of Knivsta and Uppsala on line 38, which employ Uppsalas local transport fares. It costs 60160SEK (35160SEK for youth) to get there if you already have an SL travelcard. Light rail, tram, bus and ferry Edit A bus on line 69 in Stockholm Tvrbanan is a light rail line connecting the western and southern suburbs with a new section forming a 34 loop around Stockholm. Lidingbanan connects Ropsten on stermalm to Liding . This line provides a scenic view at the end of Liding across the archipelago. Several ferry services also call at Gshaga brygga at the end of the line. Nockebybanan in the western suburbs connects the district of Nockeby to Alvik on the green line of the Tunnelbana. The buses heading to Drottningholm Palace call at Nockeby (although in practice, taking the bus from Brommaplan on the green line of the Tunnelbana is more efficient) as well as passing through the quaint garden-city of Bromma . Sprvg City is a city tram connecting Norrmalmstorg to Waldemarsudde on the Djurgrden island, as serving the Nordiska Museet . Grna Lund and Skansen . Buses serve most populated areas where rail does not reach. Four inner city main lines numbered from 1 to 4 are operated by large blue buses (weekdays every 3-10 minutes), the other, generally less frequent lines (weekdays 7-20 minutes), by red buses. There are also ferries going to Djurgrden and Skeppsholmen . Bus and light rail is included in any SL ticket or pass, and travel with the Djurgrden ferry is included with any 24- or 72-hour pass, 7-day pass as well as the monthly pass. Suburban ferries, airport buses, the Arlanda Express and regional trains are not part of the SL network, and thus not included in any of these tickets. Theres an SL ferry called Sjvgen that runs between Nybroplan and Frihamnen with stops at Allmnna grnd ( Djurgrden ), Saltsjqvarn, Finnboda and Kvarnholmen in Nacka, Blockshusudden ( Djurgrden ), Nacka strand and Dalnum ( Liding ). A second SL ferry line opened in 2016 connecting Kungsholms torg ( Kungsholmen ), Sder Mlarstrand ( Sdermalm ) and Klara Mlarstrand, located between the City Hall and the Central Station. Apart from the fact that its free (with a valid SL card), the boats also have free wifi (and electrical sockets), and even free tea and coffee. Some boats sell alcohol. At Blockhusudden and Nacka Strand, there are nice restaurants just by the water. Stockholm City Bike stand. Cycling is an attractive option during warm seasons, and there are many bikepaths. On a bike, a journey across the inner city takes no longer than 30 minutes, and can be faster than travelling by subway or car. There are cycle paths along most major streets and drivers are generally considerate towards cyclists. In winter, when paths can be covered by ice, extra care should be taken. Bikepaths have a bicycle painted on the ground andor round blue signs with a white bike. Make sure you bike on the right hand side of the street, just as the cars. Stockholm City Bikes 34. In the summer months, you can use the city-operated bike loan service by purchasing a key-card. Bike stands throughout the city allows you to pick up a bike in one stand and leave it in another. A three-day (minimum period) key-card costs 165160SEK and a season pass costs 300160SEK.

Warning: NEVER step into a taxi without checking the yellow price sign on the rear passenger window first Taxi drivers are legally allowed to charge rip-off prices as long as they are stated clearly on the sign. The taxi to the left is twice as expensive as the one to the right. The price tag should say around SEK300 for a Stockholm cab. Taxis are on the expensive side. Even worse is the fact that some small dodgy operators charge outrageous prices: unsuspecting visitors have been charged thousands of SEK for a trip from the airport. The antidote is to always check the black and yellow price sticker on the rear passenger window. The price shown in large digits is the maximum (for instance during night hours) fare for a 10km, 15 minute journey and reputable companies charge around SEK300 for this. If the sticker shows a much higher price, stay away or be ripped off. The taxi market was deregulated several years ago which made it considerably easier to find a taxi but the downside is that the rip-offs arent even illegal, just supply and demand As long as you check the sticker youll be fine, but if youre still nervous choose the major companies TopCab . 46 8 33 33 33 Taxi Kurir 46 8 30 00 00 Taxi 020 . 020 20 20 20 (free calls from Swedish phones) and Taxi Stockholm 46 8 15 00 00. Note that many minor companies use Stockholm in their names to mimic their competitor, so look for the phone number 15 00 00 which appears below the logo on all Taxi Stockholm cars. Among the companies to avoid is Taxi 08 that operates at the limit of the legal rate. Most taxi firms operate a fixed price regime between central Stockholm and Arlanda airport, mirroring the rates for the journey into town of around SEK450-500. Its a good idea to check with the driver that you will get the fixed price before you set off - the meter price for the same ride may cost twice as much. Note that the taxis often have big stickers advertising their airport price: do not confuse them with the black and yellow price sticker pictured in this article. Authorized taxis have yellow license plates. Late at night in the city centre, you may be offered a ride with an unauthorized taxi, svarttaxi (literally black taxi), usually by discrete whispering of taxi. Most of the time this will get you home for roughly the same cost as ordinary taxis, just dont ask for a receipt. Rumours say that these cabs are usually controlled by organized crime, and some unpleasant episodes have been known to happen to passengers, so try this at your own risk, and preferably not alone. Congestion fee sign Cars driving into or out of central Stockholm between 06:30 and 18:29 on weekdays are charged a congestion tax 40 of 10 to 20160SEK. Some car rental companies charge their customers separately for the cost of toll passages, while others dont. Foreign-registered cars are NOT exempt from the tax see 41. Driving in Stockholm is easy compared to many larger capitals in the world. Just make sure to use your indicators when changing lanes. Fees are not charged at all in July, on holidays (such as Sundays) or on the day before a holiday (such as Saturdays). Private Car Edit An alternative to taxis, bus, train amp any public transport, car services are useful for getting to the airport from the outer boroughs where taxis are harder to find, or if you prefer to have transportation reserved in advance. Some options to hire a private car service in Sotkcholm: Rent a Wreck (Rent a Car) amp DotTransfers (Private Car Service with chauffeur). Parking is restricted and expensive in the centre of the city, and free parking is scarce even in the suburbs, except at external shopping centres. It is recommended for peace of mind to make use of SL services to avoid parking and congestion charges. There are two hop-onhop-off boat tours that run loops between various sites in Stockholm. Both cost approximately 100160SEK for a day long pass and have approximately 8 stops, including the cruise terminal, Gamla Stan, the Vasa Museum, Skansen, and Skeppsholmen. The Stockholm archipelago is served by two major shipping companies. Waxholmsbolaget runs inexpensive public transit ferries, slowed down by stops at several different docks. Waxholmsbolaget also runs two steamboats, that offer even slower, but genuine, round-trips with classical Swedish cuisine. 42 Strmma is a private company, aimed at international tourists, with fast boats and audioguides. 43 Stockholm has many spectacular tourist attractions, ranging from the interesting architecture of the City Hall to the stunning natural beauty of the archipelago . In the several Royal Palaces ( Stockholm Palace . Drottningholm . Haga and several others) visitors can get in close contact with traditions of the Swedish monarchy. Among the wide range of museums, the Vasa museum with its 17th century warship and the Skansen open air museum are unique experiences. The Royal Palace in Gamla Stan. Stockholms Old Town ( Gamla Stan ). is the beautifully preserved historical heart of Stockholm. T Gamla Stan station is on the west side of the compact quarter, which is best covered on foot. Riddarholmskyrkan is a beautifully preserved medieval church. Stockholms Old Town with Tyska Kyrkan (German church) The Stockholm archipelago ( skrgrden ) is one of the worlds most spectacular. Stretching 80 kilometres east of the city centre, the archipelago comprises 24,000 islands, islets and rocks. Regular ferries are operated by Waxholmsbolaget 44 and from April through September also by Cinderellabtarna 45 . Buildings and structures Edit Religious buildings Edit Stockholm has a large number of interesting churches. some of them dating back to medieval times. Most of them are in active use by the Lutheran Church of Sweden. There is also a synagogue and a mosque in the city center. The Skogskyrkogrden cemetery, in the southern suburbs, is one of the very few UNESCO World Heritage sites from the 20th century. Other buildings Edit The Ericsson Globe is a white spherical building. Occasionally, at least at game-nights, it is lit by coloured light. The Sweden Solar System 46 is the worlds largest scale model of any kind. With the Globe as the Sun, models of the planets are displayed at Slussen (Mercury), the Royal Institute of Technology (Venus), the Natural History Museum (Earth amp Moon), Mrby Centrum (Mars), Arlanda Airport (Jupiter) and Uppsala (Saturn). Kungliga biblioteket (The RoyalLibrary) is the national library of Sweden. It was designed by Gustaf Dahl and is located at Humlegrden T stermalmstorg.

Ask the staff for advice. You need to be able to prove that you are over 20 years old, so be sure to bring photo ID. They could occasionally ask people that are well above 30 for photo ID. For more information, see the section on Systembolaget in the Sweden article. Central locations include: Lilla Nygatan 18 ( T Gamla Stan ). Klarabergsgatan 62 ( T T-Centralen ). Extra late hours: Closes 20:00 all weekdays. Regeringsgatan 44 ( T T-Centralen ). The largest Systembolaget store in Stockholm, with a special selection of exclusive wines. Vasagatan 25 ( T T-Centralen ) Nybrogatan 47 ( T stermalmstorg ) Folkungagatan 56 ( T Medborgarplatsen ) Bars and nightclubs Edit The cost for drinking out in Stockholm can vary a lot. Expect to pay around 30160SEK in the cheapest pub (55-75160SEK in a trendier club or pub) for a beer or cider, and at least 95-150160SEK for a long-drink or cocktail in a club. Bars usually have no cover charge, but may have an arbitrarily set (and arbitrarily enforced) minimum age limit (usually 21 or 23, sometimes as low as 18, other times as high as 27), while clubs usually charge 50-200160SEK at the door (or more at special performances). Long, and very slow moving lines tend to form outside most popular clubs - expect having to wait as much as 1 hour or more if going to a trendy place after midnight, even if raining or snowing. Dont forget to bring an ID . as bouncers could at anytime ask for identification at the door in both pubs and clubs. As in many other Swedish cities, clubs are quite often arranged illegally and underground outside of the city center. During the summer months, many open air parties are arranged. During fall and winter, there are underground parties in abandoned factories and other industrial buildings, like in many other cities. Some parties are only held once, while others are recurring. These are, naturally, not listed and are often informed of on a word of mouth or online community basis. Generally, such clubs play techno, house and other electronic music, and so, ask locals for advice in legal clubs that play the same genre. The Swedish word for clubs arranged illegally is svartklubb (literally black club). Due to the nature of such events, undercover police presence may be apparent and individuals could be searched for illegal substances at any moment. Stureplan is a district dominated by posh dancefloor nightclubs, at the crossing of Birger Jarlsgatan . Kungsgatan and Sturegatan . ( T stermalmstorg ). The mushroom-shaped rain shelter is a common meeting point. High entrance fees (200160SEK or more) and long lines. Can be difficult to get in to the clubs here if you are considered not fit in. Sdermalm is a district which have many smaller bars and nightclubs focusing on art and electronic or alternative music. Look in nightlife magazines for places around Hornstull (such as Strand), Mariatorget (such as Sidetrack . Marie Laveau and the Wednesday pop-club Baba Sonic ), Slussen (such as Debaser . Kolingsborg ), Skanstull (such as Trdgrden . Under Bron ). Major bar streets are Gtgatan (where most places are rather cheap pubs) and Bondegatan (with a younger and more trendy crowd), both on Sdermalm, Rrstrandsgatan in western Vasastan (also rather trendy, but drawing a slightly older crowd) and the area around the Rdhuset and Fridhemsplan subway stations on Kungsholmen (with many small, cheaper and relaxed places). There are also many local pubs outside of the city centre, where many locals go and the beer is cheaper. Ask any swedes for directions and they will be happy to help you. Most restaurants and bars close at 01:00, larger clubs usually at 03:00. There are an exclusive few open till 05:00. More trendy clubs might have a long queue from midnight till closing time. Get out early (at least before midnight). A few posh and expensive clubs in the Stureplan district have an informal or outspoken dress code, vrdad kldsel . Do not behave drunk in queues, as the guards may not be willing to let you in. Arguing aggressively with bouncers and security staff will certainly lead to serious consequences and is not recommended. If you can read Swedish, you can get more information about Stockholms nightlife in the free monthly magazine Njesguiden, the newspaper Dagens Nyheter on Thursdays, the free QX gay magazine for LGBT events and the free Metro on Fridays. Sleep Edit As of 2016, Stockholm has fairly typical hotel prices for Nordic regions. You can expect to pay around 2000-2500 SEK ( 220-270) for a double room in a 4 hotel, and anywhere from 800-1200 SEK for the cheapest 2 private double rooms. Hotels located far from city center are generally cheaper, as are hostels and private rooms without en suite bathrooms. Try to find one close to public transport. As throughout other major European cities, apartment rental services such as AirBNB provide competitive options as compared to traditional hotels. The cheap bunks are in short supply. Look for hostels at Svenska Turistfreningen, 93 and SVIF 94 Advance booking is recommended, especially during summer, and for those in the inner city. Stockholm has some spectacular hostels, such as af Chapman at Skeppsholmen, 95. Lngholmen 96. Jumbostay 97 at Arlanda, and Best Hostel at the Old Town waterfront 98. The lowest cost per bed can be found on the Baltic Sea cruiseferries. Contact Edit Phone Edit Phone booths are very rare as are public phones in general as most people have switched to cell phones. Prepaid cards are available and usually also include Internet access at a reasonable price. Coverage is excellent in Stockholm, even in the subway and road tunnels. Internet access Edit There are a number of places where you can access the Internet in central Stockholm. An alternative for any visitor to Sweden is to buy a pre-paid USB 3G4G modem. These can be had cheaply (down to 150160SEK) and the 3G4G coverage in Stockholm is excellent. Expect to pay around 100160SEKweek or 300160SEKmonth to use the 3G modem. Data limits are typically high (5 GBMonth but up to 20160GB or more is also available) Many cafs, hotels, libraries offer free wi-fi access. McDonalds and the local version Max also offers good free Wifi in their restaurants. The site Wifikartan show most of the free wi-fi access points in Stockholm and most of Sweden as well. Skype offers wi-fi access in some areas called Skype Zones 99. This service used to be offered for free as a test, but now seems to be subject to a fee. Telia HomeRun 100 is a commercial wi-fi service that covers many points in central Stockholm with wi-fi. Internet terminals Edit The company Sidewalk Express operates internet terminals in a number of convenience stores (most 7 Eleven and many Pressbyrn stores) and some other shops and public locations, including the main hall in the Stockholm Central railway station. Check their website 101 for a full list of locations. Most terminals are however quite uncomfortable to use (metallic keyboards, stand-up only access etc.) and fairly expensive. Unused time from one Sidewalk Express location can be reused at any other terminal in Sweden within 5 days. You can often use the internet for free at the public libraries (but you may have to ask first). Big libraries can be found at Medborgarplatsen ( T Medborgarplatsen ) and Sveavgen 73 ( T Odenplan ). The Central Station has Stockholmspanelen . information terminals with keyboards and web browsers that have full internet access but no address bar to type in the URL of the site you want to visit. But if you are clever theres a way to get to Google, you can then type in the URL you want to visit and hit Search. There are also a number of more gaming-oriented internet points. These are often open late nights. Matrix 8212 The underground hall in the Kungsgatan exit of the metro station Htorget. Open Su-Th 10:00-24:00, F-Sa 10:00-03:00. A centrally located 80-terminal gamer den with generous opening hours. Inferno Online . situated at Odenplan (metro station). The largest gaminginternet-cafe in the world. If you are a new user you need to create an account (free) and then pay for the amount of hours you want on your account (the prices are low compared to other internet terminals). Their website: infernoonline Stay safe Edit Stockholm is a safe city by international standards. As in other cities, however, you should avoid late-night walks through deserted areas of the city or through unlit parks. Stockholm has an exciting night-life. As in most countries, being overly intoxicated is not accepted in most bars and clubs, and could lead to the security staff forcibly ejecting the trouble-maker. Swedish people tend to binge-drink, and as usual, alcohol might fuel violence. Most crimes against tourists are crimes of opportunity, such as pick-pocketing, bicycle theft, auto theft, and auto vandalism . As always, do not leave valuable items in your car, and watch your bag in crowded places. Most shops and all major taxi companies accept credit and debit cards, so there is no need to carry a lot of cash. Be more aware of your belongings in crowded areas such as festivals, nightclubs, markets, airports, and public transport areas. Especially at night, avoid the suburbs on the far south end of the red metro lines Norsborg branch, as well as the far north end of the blue line, as violent crime is rife in these areas. Prefer the major cab companies ( Taxi Stockholm, Taxi Kurir . Taxi 020 and Topcab ) to avoid overcharging, and have a better chance of having belongings lost in the car returned to you. During summer, groups of street gamblers try to scam their audience on Drottninggatan and in other touristed areas. They use a variety of tricks one of them being planting a few of their own in the crowd. Dont play, you will lose. Though Sweden has an extensive welfare system, and Stockholm has fewer homeless and impoverished people than other cities of similar size, impoverished people can occasionally be seen begging downtown. A responsible way to address their situation is to buy the street paper, Situation Stockholm . for 50160SEK. You may also come upon beggars feigning disabilities, or handing out laminated begging cards on the subway. Buying food or water for someone begging is also a good way of helping, without risking that your money goes in the wrong hands. Stockholm is a very friendly to sexual minorities. Homophobic and transphobic attitudes will be met with outright hostility from many swedes. All parties in the Swedish parliament take a radical standpoint against harassment and violence towards sexual minorities. Same-sex couples will have no trouble living openly in Stockholm, which includes holding hands or kissing in public around the city. Despite this fact, common sense should be used late at night in some areas (as in any other city). --gt Respect Edit When using escalators . stand on the right and use the left side for walking up the stairs. Standing still on the left side might annoy people. On train and subway platforms, passengers should be allow to leave the car before attempting to board. Avoid walking in the cycle lane. Dedicated cycle paths are clearly marked, but sometimes run directly next to the pavement (sidewalk). Stockholm cyclists are subject to a comparatively hilly landscape and are unwilling to slow down and lose momentum. Usually, however, they are careful, signal clearly and use their bells, meaning that straying tourists most often are just sworn at. When waiting in lines, be patient and polite. Swedes seldom jump queues - but make sure you actually stand in the line. If unsure, ask. Swedes usually dont complain to people that are doing things (in their opinion) wrongly. They will just look at your foolish behaviour and swear silently to themselves. You might be embarrassing yourself but Swedes think that complaining about it will make an even bigger scene. Some things to pack: See also SwedenBring . Comfortable shoes. Stockholm is best experienced on foot. An umbrella or a raincoat for wet weather. Warm clothes in good materials (Long johnsstockings under your pantsskirt will keep you warm without looking like you wear your ski-outfit). Getting cash Edit There are many ATMs in the city, but some foreign card-holders, such as a Canadian, have reported trouble in using them, even when they purport to be connected to international networks their banks are part of, so consider doing some research before you arrive. There are many locations of a currency exchange called Forex, but they charge a whopping 50160SEK (6,5160) commission on top of their buy-sell spread. Creditdebit cards are widely accepted even for small amounts. Most places accept identification and a signature, but PIN-transactions are preferred. Toilets Edit Finding a good toilet in Stockholm can be tricky. Many department stores and fast-food restaurants have clean toilets, often for the charge of 5160SEK. That is also the cost of public toilet booths found in most city squares (though these might be messy) so be sure to carry some 5 and 10 SEK coins. Restaurants toilets are often reserved for customers, and might be messy depending on the establishment. Some good, clean toilets are found in Max at Norrmalmstorg, and in the bar Sturehof (at Stureplan - the establishment is too big for crew to keep track of people borrowing the toilet). Urinating in town is illegal, but urinals are often free even if you have to pay for a WC. The libraries, museums, and government buildings often have free, clean toilets. Most major hotels have clean lobby toilets. Some of them might be reserved for house guests and require an access code, but travellers can often get access to them on request. Laundry Edit Since all Swedish apartments either have a washing machine or access to a communal laundry room, there are virtually no self-service laundries to be found in Stockholm, with one exception: Tvttomaten . Vstmannagatan 61 ( T Odenplan ), 46 8 34 64 80, 102. Open M-F 08:30-18:30, Sa 09:30-15:00 (closed Sa from end of June to mid-August, closed one week at the end of July). Self service price: 50160SEK without drying, 100160SEK with drying (per machine, up to 5160kg). Most youth hostels have washing machines. Some dry cleaners offer to wash shirts and bed linen as well, but this tends to be quite expensive. Health Edit Swedish healthcare is generally of high quality, although you may have to face a long wait in emergency rooms. How fast you get to see the doctor is dependent on how ill you are and if others are sicker. If you have a small wound that needs stitches you will wait if there are victims of a car-accident. But if you are in a bad car-accident you know you will get help first. Money, name or title wont help pass the queue. EUEES citizens with a European Health Insurance card pay the same (rather low) fee for emergency and necessary care as a local citizen. Others must pay the whole health care cost (which can be between 1,700 and 2,200SEK for a doctors visit at an emergency care unit at a hospital). More information on hospital fees can be found on the Stockholm County information site 103. In an emergency . always call 112 for SOS Alarm, for ambulance, police, fire service, air and sea rescue, mountain patrol, or priest on call. English-speaking operators are available. There are two hospitals with 24-hour emergency care units in the inner city: S:t Grans Sjukhus . S:t Gransplan 1 ( T Fridhemsplan or T Stadshagen ), 46 8 58 70 10 00, 104 . Sdersjukhuset . Sjukhusbacken 10 ( Bus 3, 74 or 164 from T Skanstull, bus 74 from T Mariatorget or commuter train to Stockholm Sdra ), 46 8 616 10 00, 105 . For less serious illnesses and ailments, getting in touch with a local clinic, vrdcentral . is a much better option than the hospital emergency rooms. The Stockholm County healthcare hotline Vrdguiden (46 8 320 100, 106 ) can give medical advice and help you find a doctor. While information is officially given in Swedish only, the doctors can often speak some English. Pharmacies Edit The pharmacy market has recently been de-regulated, giving some competition to the state-operated monopoly chain Apoteket . Certified pharmacies have a green cross sign. You can buy over-the-counter medicine (such as paracetamol, ibuprofen, throat and cough relief tablets or nose-sprays) in almost any supermarket or convenience store. Apoteket C W Scheele .
