Stockholm Travel Guide

Stockholm, Sweden — Transportation

Getting Around in Stockholm

Navigating the compact but confusing city center is best done on foot. To see the sights further away you can utilise the city's buses, underground (Tunnelbana or T-bana), ferries and trains run by Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL). Discount cards or strips of transferable tickets are available. Information on the transport system, as well as a map and timetable, is available at the SL-Center inside T-Centralen station at Sergels Torg. Taxis are plentiful and can be hailed in the street or booked by telephone. Buying a Stockholm Card ( Stockholmskortet) is perhaps the best way to make the most of the city as it allows for unlimited travel on public transport, as well as free entry to 60 museums and free sightseeing trips. Stockholm Cards can be bought at various tourist centers in the city.
