Getting around in Stockholm

Getting around in Stockholm

I recently read an opinion on "Getting Around in Stockholm", which contained very little or true information, so decided to write my own. Perhaps not many people will read it, but the opinion I read does nothing to portray the real Stockholm public transport system. Stockholm has one of ... Read review

1-4 of 4 reviews of Getting around in Stockholm

Probably, 1 of the best transport systems

Advantages: Cheap, lots of stations, mostly reliable
Disadvantages: Can be hard to understand for non-swedes

...have a valid ticket before getting on the train. It is not easy for the non-Swede to realise this. If you are caught by the inspectors without a ticket, you can face a fine of 600kr.

Trams
*****
Just a few routes, a total of 35 vehicles carry 40,000 passengers per day. The most interesting is perhaps the Djurgården line, running from Norrmalmstorg to Djurgården (Vasa & Nordic museums, Skansen etc) which operates the old ...
...1940s style trams run every 10-12 minutes, except in the winter months.

Prices
******
Travel is acutally very cheap in Stockholm, and various discounts and passes are available. The whole Stockholm area is broken up into various zones, pretty much the same as the London Underground. The more zones you cross during your journey, the more coupons the journey will cost.

The minimum cost for any journey on ... more

Efficient, safe and clean

Advantages: clean, efficient
Disadvantages: none

The Stockholm underground/metro is called the Tunnelbana (or T-Bana). There are 3 lines across the city, and stations almost on every main street. Stations are clearly marked with a blue T sign. Tickets are comparatively priced, but you can buy a Tourist Card or Stockholm Card for discounted travel. The atmosphere on the trains & at the stations is non-threatening - it is common to see women travelling alone confidently, even late at night. The modern ...

Metro's pretty good

Advantages: You get around
Disadvantages: It ain't a limo, but what did you expect?

I went to Stockholm in July 2000 (to run the Marathon there, as it happens). It's a fine city and the metro's just what you need to whizz you about. But, it's not totally obvious how to buy tickets. - There are little ticket booths with probably the most articulate people I have ever seen staffing an underground service. They will sell you what you need. - You can buy strips of (I think it was) 20 in one go BUT an adult ticket costs two stamps, so ...

It's better to use something else

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

When you visit Stockholm take your bycicle with you! Stockholm's subway is terrible dirty, smelling urin and infested with parasites. It looks like they never clean and wash the floor there. The trains on the blue and red lines look like they are going to fall apart. The space between seats is so small that the neighbor will always touch your legs with his knees. The ticket system is horrible, especially this long intestines which they call "rabatt ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Getting around in Stockholm"

Beautiful City

Advantages: Beautiful City, easy to get around, most people speak English
Disadvantages: can be rather expensive

the high quality and expensive shops are located. Such as NK. Getting around in Stockholm is incredibly easy. The Metro, known as the Tunnel bana is widely used and extremely simple and tourist friendly. There are giant "T" signs marking each station. Many swedish residents will have swipe cards, in which they will use to pass metal gates. However, these are not economic for people who are purely visiting the city. Therefore, it is possible to buy "strips" which are long tickets with spaces, allowing several trips, which are made by the ticket person stamping it. Strips often cost around 70- which is around 7 or eight pounds. These are highly economic, and useful, allowing around 4 or 5 long trips. I used the T every day to get to School in Stockholm. The main stop is T-centralen, which is right in the centre of the city. It isn ...

Review of Stockholm in general

Ain't seen nothing yet

Advantages: beautiful landscape, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere
Disadvantages: very expensive

. ------------------------------ Stockholm Arlanda Airport ------------------------------ Upon landing at Stockholm Arlanda on a foggy November morning, I thought I had crossed the arctic circle and landed somewhere in Lapland, as there was absolutely nothing around. Only trees and fields, no city in sight, not even a few houses. I couldn't see Stockholm from the air, and in fact I didn't get to see it during my entire visit. Arlanda Airport is around 25 miles north of Stockholm and connected with the city by motorway and railway. The facilities are quite modern (including a very stylish Business lounge), the whole airport seems to be undergoing constant renovation. For public transport, you can chose between the airport rail link and the shuttle bus. The train takes 20 minutes and the bus 45, but on weekends they apparently leave only once every hour ...
