BY TRAIN
High-speed trains are green travel alternatives for getting to and from Stockholm. The Öresund Bridge connects Sweden to Denmark and the rest of Europe, making the train journey faster. The state-owned rail company SJ runs most long-distance routes to Oslo, Copenhagen, Berlin and domestic routes in Sweden.
Stockholm's local and long-distance trains come and go from Central Station. The Cityterminalen bus station is right next door, and a pedestrian subway connects to the central underground station, the underground system hub. City buses to Djurgården depart right outside. The main Central Station entrance is from Vasagatan. Cityterminalen is at the north end of the station hall. Airport buses and domestic buses depart from here. Arlanda Express departs from the north side of Central Station. The lower hall has a walkway that connects to Central Station, commuter train platforms and the central underground station. The SL-Center is located here, where you can buy Stockholm Cards and tickets for local transport. There is a taxi centre outside the main Central Station entrance on Vasagatan, where you can get assistance finding a taxi. The Central Hall is open daily from 05:00 to 00:15.
BY SEA
Stockholm can be easily reached from Finland and the Baltic countries by large, high standard passenger and car ferries that berth at their own terminals close to the city centre. The trip takes passengers through the spectacular Stockholm archipelago, with its 30,000 islands.
Stockholm is also a popular port for big cruise ships and can easily be reached from the other Baltic countries by large passenger and car ferries. Several major ferry lines serve the countries around the Baltic Sea, and Stockholm’s harbors are centrally located.
BY CAR
Visitors driving from Denmark can use the Öresund toll bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö. Another option is the 20-minute car ferry from Helsingør in Denmark to Helsingborg in Sweden. The bridge and the car ferry connect with the E4, a 550 km (340 mile) motorway to Stockholm.
Car ferries to Gothenburg operate from Denmark (Frederikshavn), from the UK (Harwich) via Norway (Kristiansand), and from Germany (Kiel), with an onward journey of about 450 km (280 miles) on the E3 to Stockholm. The fastest route from Germany to Sweden by boat is the catamaran ferry from Rostock to Trelleborg in southern Sweden, then the E6 to Malmö and the E4 to Stockholm.
