I knew that Scandinavian people love to use bicycles, and that Stockolm and Oslo have a program called city-bikes, a solution for sharing bicycles. I don't know if that program covers any other city in Sweden, but the large amount of bicycles seen everywhere, without any lock or any other kind of protection makes me believe that the cities that we visited do have something alike.A matter to check if we go there again!
Cruise around the main island of Trossö by M/s Spättan is a very popular boat cruise provided by Affärsverken in the archipelago of Karkskrona, only approximately 80 kilometer south of Kalmar in southeastern Sweden. M/s Spättan can accommodate up to 50 paying passengers with a Swedish and English speaking tourist guide explaning the various interesting attractions around the island and the archipelago. The boat is approximately 14 meter long and four meter wide and cruising at the speed of around eight knots. The fare for this cruise is SEK 75.00 per adult and SEK 35.00 for children and takes approximately one hour to complete the journey. Own food and drinks are allowed to be consumed on the boat. We certainly had a wonderful time in Karlskrona. You may e-mail to the following address for more information about this cruise and/or other transportation by boats around the beautiful...
As you probably already know Sweden has a highly efficient rail network;always on time,cleaning everywhere..pratically the opposite of my sunny Country!Here you can buy the ticket on the train with a littleextra amount,but in my opinion it's better buy it before..I have found tickets not so expensive(except forthe"X2000").Locals told me that,in case of heavy snowing,trains may be blocked and it could be betterto take buses...for example if you must to take a planefor coming beck to your Country.A curiosity:I have noticed that trains in Sweden arehigher that in other Countries...obiouvsly, it iseasy to see men REALLY high!
Skavsta airport is the swedish air platform for Ryanair company.Bus departure about 15/30 mn after the plane's arrivalTickets to buy in the air terminal (automatic cash) : return ticket : 199 sek (about 21,5 euros)Trip time to City terminalen (bus station in the center of Stockholm) : about 1h20 mn (with one stop)To get back to Skavsta airport from City terminalen : bus departure about 3 hours before your plane's departure. Look closely to the screens to get to the right gate in City terminalen.
Now that there is the magnificent Öresund Bridge from Copenhagen you can drive. There is a fee, so if you will do it regularly, you might want to look into discount passes at the website below. The trains from Copenhagen also use the Öresund Bridge and there are regular commuter trains across to Malmö (via Copenhagen airport) and fast trains to Stockholm a few times a day. www.sj.seThe same can be said for the buses. www.eurolines.com are the biggest from the continent to Sweden via Copenhagen, but there are also www.safflebussen.se and the Danish Grahundbus which can take you first from Berlin to Copenhagen and then Copenhagen to Malmö: http://www.graahundbus.dk/You can also still take the car (or just yourself of course) on the ferries across from Denmark if you fancy the nostalgic way (or are on a budget as you can sometimes get good deals) north of Copenhagen (Elsinore/Helsingør)...
If you have the time and want a memorable trip over, take a ferry! There are many ones from all directions, such as Finland, Poland, Denmark, England, Norway, Latvia, etc. Many of these ferries are known as real partyboats, like the one from Finland. It doesn't cost that much either and there might be duty free shopping onboard, yippie!
There are many ways to get to Sweden but to fly is the easiest way.*However, airport security presumably is good, in previous case a passenger to Ryan Air flight carrying a gun stopped before boarding, the flight were delayed half a day but that stupid passenger never been charged in anything, not even for delaying the flight.Well, in Sweden I guess it is not a crime to try hijacking a plain, you probably committed a crime only if you succeeded.
Here at the trainstation you have everything you need for travelling. You can find exchange offices for currencies, fast food places, shops, restaurants, cafés and souvenir shops. Outside you find the taxi to the left. It is not far away from Cityterminalen at all, where the buses go to Arlanda airport for example and all other buses within Sweden and to foreign countries.
Stena Line, a Swedish ferry company, offers daily ferries from Kiel/Germany to Göteborg/Sweden. They depart at 7 p.m. and arrive at 9 a.m. It is a perfect way to get to Sweden if you want to avoid driving the long stretch through Denmark and across the several bridges. It includes a bed in one of the cabins, typically four bed cabins. I was lucky that the ferry wasn’t full, so I had the cabin all to myself. I was impressed by the logistics of the whole loading process. They started to let us drive on the ferry at 3 p.m., the last car raced up the ramp at 6:45 p.m. but 15 minutes later, all ramps were up and we left Kiel’s harbour. There is a lot of entertainment on the ferry but I am afraid to be not the best to describe all the amenities because I was out on deck almost all the time before I went to sleep. They wake up the passengers with announcements starting at 7 a.m., it is loud...
There is frequent and inexpensive ferry service between Malmö and Copenhagen, Denmark, as well as several German ports. None of the trips between Malmö and Copenhagen takes too long, and a visit to Sweden makes for a pleasant day trip. However, with the recent opening of the Øresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden, the ferry business has declined substantially.
