GUIDE TO Welcome to Stockholm, we hope you enjoy your time here. Although, you can find sufficient information on the ERPW 2019 website, we have put together a few helpful tips you might use during your stay in Stockholm.

TRAVEL

On arrival you could take a bus Flygbussana from any of the three airports Arlanda, and Skavsta. You can buy bus tickets online or on arrival at ticket machines at the airport. If you are arriving at Arlanda airport, you could also take the train Arlanda express, it is faster (less than 20 minutes) but more expensive. Travel by bus or train will bring you to Stockholm central. At Stockholm central, you can walk to T- centralen (the center of the underground metro train lines). In case you get lost, you could make inquires at the information desk at Stockholm central station. To travel within Stockholm, you have to buy SL access cards. There are single use access cards which permit either a single journey, 24hrs access or 72hrs access or a 1-week pass to the underground trains. You can also purchase a permanent access card which costs 20 SEK and can be reloaded anytime you wish to travel. SL access cards permits travel by bus, metro, light rail and the tram.
