Stockholm on wheels

Well if walking's not your thing then here are some more options for those of you who wish to travel a little faster but not spend your whole budget on getting ripped off by cabs or paying for every subway trip.

Quick connections

Subways and buses: A single fare costs SEK 20.00 You can transfer or return at no additional cost within the hour stamped on the ticket. If you intend to move around a bit, you may want to consider SL's 24 and 72 hour passes valid for all busses, trams, subways, commuter trains and Waxholmsbolaget's Djurgården ferries. The passes cost SEK 60.00 and SEK 180.00 respectively. The 72 hour card also gives you free admission to the Stockholm Transport Museum, Gröna Lund Tivoli and a 50 per cent reduction on the Skansen entrance fee.
