Navigating the compact but confusing city centre is best done on foot. To see the sights further away you can utilize 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
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 centres in the city.
Getting to the city
For those traveling to and from the airport there are many alternative modes of transport including high-speed trains (Arlanda Express) and airport coaches/buses (Flygbussarna), as well as commuter and long-distance trains. Long-distance SJ trains leave from Arlanda Central Station, where the SJ railway company offers long-distance train tickets and schedule information. The Arlanda Express train to Stockholm Central station runs every 15 minutes between 5.35am and 11.35pm daily (200kr). Buses go to the city every 10 minutes between 6.40am and 11.05pm each day, taking 40 minutes to make the journey (90kr). Taxis and rental cars are also available.
