Metro
Don't be fooled by the fact that Stockholm only has three metro lines. Most of Stockholm's many attractions are located close to the city center, first off. Secondly, each metro line bifurcates into different prongs. So the range of territory covered by the metro is more extensive than you might assume.
Buses
The Stockholm bus network fills in the metro's blanks. It canvasses the central city well, and coordinates with the metro system to boot.
Taxis
Taxis in Stockholm are very expensive. One of Stockholm's best-known taxi outfits, Taxi Stockholm, begins running the meter at SEK 45. Another, Taxi 020, imposes a starting cost of SEK 39. In both cases, fares rise steeply from there. We can't in good Cheapo conscience recommend that you ever take a taxi in Stockholm.
Ferries
Ferries through the archipelago are a great way to see the city and the region. Some ferry companies include Cinderella Båtarna and Strömma Kanalbolaget, which departs from conveniently-located Stadshusbron.
Also check out the Båtluffarkortet, or ferry pass. A 5-day ferry pass allowing unlimited boat travel through Stockholm's archipelago costs SEK 300. Check out the official Stockholm tourist site's ferry pass information. |
