Public transport Stockholm

Public transport, whether metro, bus or boat, doesn't use tickets but contactless payments with a bank card. However, it is not advisable to use your bank card for public transport, as you risk being charged an additional fee due to the currency change. It's best to take a transport pass appropriate to the length of your stay. For a long stay, you can do as the locals do: pay 970 SEK for 30 days with unlimited access to Tunnelbana, buses and Pendeltåg (the local RER). For a short stay, you have several options: the Stockholm pass, single tickets, tickets on the mobile app, or an SL card. A weekly transport card, which also works contactless, costs 430 SEK.

Tunnelbana: represented by a large blue T on a white background, Stockholm's metro is organized around three main lines (red, green and blue), all of which intersect at the central station, T-Centralen. There are reduced fares for under-20s and over-65s.

Bus: City Terminalen is Stockholm's bus station, (72 Klarabergsviadukten - www.cityterminalen.com) and is open from 3:00 to 2:15.

Stockholm SL: https: //sl.se/ - for timetables, routes and information.

Stockholm Pass: (Go Stockholm Pass) lasts from 1 to 5 days. A 1-day pass costs between SEK 824 (child) and SEK 1,899 (adult), with which you can visit as many museums and attractions as you like. Please note that this pass does not include transport (to be purchased separately).

Single ticket: 39 SEK, 26 SEK reduced rate - valid for 75 minutes. Tickets are available from ticket offices and vending machines. Without a ticket, you incur a penalty of 1,500 SEK plus the price of a day ticket.

Tickets on the mobile app: if you download the SL app, you won't need an additional card to pay for your trips, which have the same price on the mobile app. You'll find one-week and even 30-day passes. For a 24h ticket: 165 SEK, for 72h: 330 SEK, and for a week: 430 SEK.

The SL card: The SL smart card, on which you can add journeys, costs 20 SEK to activate. The fare is equivalent to adding single tickets to the same card.

Reduced fares for children, people under 20, students over 20 and senior citizens.

Bike, scooters & co Stockholm

Stockholm is an ideal city for cycling. The topography lends itself well to cycling, as do the dozens of kilometers of bike paths and the calm traffic conditions that make for a very safe ride. You can get from Odenplan (north) to Skanstull (south of Södermalm) in less than 20 minutes. However, cycling is less safe and obviously less pleasant in winter, with slippery roads and vehicle spray.

Electric scooters: Stockholm is full of Lime and Jump-style electric scooters, which are also found in major metropolises like Paris and London. This means of transport is very practical, allowing you to navigate the city freely and quickly, stopping where you like, when you like, thanks to the mobile app. However, this means of transport is rather expensive, costing SEK 10 to start up, then SEK 3 per minute. For a 10-minute journey, you end up paying 30 SEK, or almost 3 euros. Compared to the metro, a ticket costs 39 SEK and is valid for 75 minutes, taking you as far as you like. Scooters are more practical for short journeys and for touring Stockholm's historic districts at your own pace.

Bikes & Co: You can rent bikes from local bike rental companies. Some of them offer a variety of bikes: racing bikes, mountain bikes, electric bikes or city bikes. Sometimes they even offer kayak or canoe rentals, a fun option for adventurers looking to explore the archipelago.

With a driver Stockholm

For a 10-minute ride during the day in the city center, you can expect to pay around SEK 140. The price per minute is around 8 to 10 SEK, and the price per kilometer between 12 and 14 SEK. All cabs include an initial charge of 45 SEK. This mode of transport is particularly convenient for journeys outside the public transport timetable, i.e. after 1am.

You can also use Uber, which can offer more attractive prices. Prices vary according to the time of day, and remain fixed once booked. For a four-seater Uber, expect to pay around SEK 90 for a trip between T-Centralen and Gamla Stan.

By car Stockholm

Stockholm has strict traffic regulations. Stockholm's streets can be very narrow in the city's older districts, with separate lanes for cyclists and pedestrians. Residential areas do not exceed 30 km/h, and urban areas keep the speed limit below 50 km/h.

Finding a parking lot in the city is quite difficult, as almost all of them have to be paid for. Weekday parking can cost between 10 and 30 SEK per hour. On Sundays, most parking lots are free. Once you've bought a parking ticket, place it behind your car's windscreen to avoid a parking fine, which can cost between 500 and 1,200 SEK.

The congestion charge is a toll system for driving in the city center. Every vehicle registered in Sweden is detected as it passes through one of the 18 checkpoints placed at the city gates, and its owner receives a summary invoice at the end of the month. Entrance fees vary according to the time of day, rising to 45 SEK during rush hour and becoming free between 6.30pm and 6am. Individual passages are added together, but may not exceed 135 SEK per vehicle per day. The project has already achieved its objectives: car traffic has fallen by more than 20% since its launch in 2006.

Accessibility Stockholm

In Stockholm, almost all access points are wheelchair-friendly (ramps, elevators, escalators and lowered sidewalks). Most hotels and museums meet disabled access standards. Traffic lights are equipped with audible signals for the visually impaired. If you have a physical or mental disability, or if you're going on vacation with someone who does, there are a number of associations that can help.

For travelers with children, most hotels and restaurants have baby chairs. Museums and tourist sites often offer diaper-changing facilities. Travelling with small children is therefore not a problem, especially as the city and its transport systems are perfectly equipped with elevators and stroller rails on the stairs. Museums are often free of charge for those under 18 or even 25.
