Travel to Stockholm By Train

The main station lies directly in the city centre near the waterfront. It's connected underground to T-Centralen, the central hub for the subway system.

By ship

Ferries go to Finland and Estonia every day.

Silja Line ferries to Helsinki and Turku leave from Värtan port, some 500 meters from T Gardet station.

Viking Line ferries to Helsinki and Turku leave from Stadsgården port to the south of the city. Buses shuttle passengers to T Slussen station, or you can get there on foot by following the coast line north for a kilometer or so.

There is a small, but efficent metro system called the Tunnelbana (T-Bana). There are cards available for 24 hours (80 SEK) and 72 hours (150 SEK), and a points-based strip for 110 SEK, good for about 7 rides depending upon distance.

The Stockholm Card allows free transportation and parking and gives admission to the 70 museums in Stockholm. There is also an extensive commuter train system which connects the city center to nearly all the suburbs and office parks.

Bus

Taxi

Taxis are on the expensive side. The meter is used to control the cost but always make sure that this is set when commencing a journey.

See Stockholm

Stockholm's 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.

The Royal Palace, built between 1697 and 1754 and located on the east side of the Old Town, is open to the public. The Royal Apartments, the Tre Kronor Museum, the Treasury and Gustav III's Museum of Antiquities cost 70 SEK each, with the sumptuous Apartments being the main draw; if royal regalia is your thing, you'll probably want to pay 110 SEK for a combination ticket and visit the Treasury as well. Open 10-16 daily in the summer, 12-16 and closed Mondays in the winter.
The Stockholm Public Library at Sveavägen 73 was built in 1928. The interior of the cupola-shaped building is spectacular, with three floors of bookshelves covering 360 degrees of circular wall, capped by a high dome. On the cliff overlooking it is the old Observatory, which has a fine view of the city to the east. There is a small cafe.

Museums - Stockholm Tourism

Stockholm has more than 70 museums all around: Butterfly Museum, Army Museum, Dance Museum to name but a few.

Vasa Museet is a museum with the actual sailing ship from 1628 which sank just after being launched. Well worth a visit since it is uncertain whether current methods of preservation will be able to maintain her condition in years to come.
Kulturhuset The House of Culture - a bit comparable to the "Tate Modern" in London - with an Internet Café (called Access IT), exhibitions, theater, restaurants and much more.
A very nice one is the Tekniska Museet, the museum of Science and Technology. Also commendable to smaller children.

Do Stockholm

Walk around. Stockholm is a very easy city to enjoy by foot with no steep streets. Particularly in the summer months (which can be a very short time), the city shows itself at its best.

Buy

Famous for glassware and design. "Gamla Stan", the old town, is very popular area in which to shop. And there are many department stores like Åhléns City and NK in the city center.

Eat - Travel to Stockholm

Buddha Bar. Very nice restaurant; eating there is very good. Downstairs is the Buddhabar, with good music. http://www.buddha.se

Drink

Coffee

As the Swedes like drinking coffee, there are many coffee-bars all around. Beware - Swedish coffee is strong compared with the way it is prepared in in the US and UK.

Muggen in Götgatan 24 (Slussen)

Alcohol

Can be summed up in three words: expensive, expensive and expensive. If arriving from outside the European Union and visiting relatives, friends or even just business colleagues, a bottle of whisky, gin or vodka makes a very acceptable gift.

IceBar in the "Nordic Sea Hotel", Vasaplan. Entrance: 125 sek., including warm clothes and one drink.
