Kungsör station.

by Dizzyhead

Kungsör is not a very big city, around 5000 inhabitants and the train and bus station is very important for them. Kungsör you find between Eskilstuna and Örebro, and between there you use the train. If you want to go to other places like Köping and smaller places around Kungsör you must use the bus, and the bus station is there too.

Cruise in Stockholm's waterway

by hopang

Stockholm is located on the southeastern coast of Sweden on the mouth of Lake Mälaren where the lake meets the Baltic Sea. Strategically Stockholm is located on 14 islands with lots of waterways. Approximately 30% of the total area of Stockholm is made up of waterways. Thus it is also known as Venice of the North by some travellers.Visitors can experience picturesque Stockholm from the waterways. This is the experience you will never forget! Several cruise operators operate boat tours from Nybroviken near Nybroplan such as the hop-on-hop-off boat, the Djurgården and the Fjäderholmsexpressen etc. An inexpensive way to travel by boats to Skansen and Gröna Lund at Djurgården is by boats operated by Djurgården 4 which were constructed in the late 19th century. You can travel free of charge if you purchase Stockholm Card.

By Train

by lbhspatriot

Travelling around Sweden by Train seems to be the most efficient way to do. There are good connections between cities and towns and if you are lucky you can get good deals too. If you are planning on taking the train it is better to check the routes, timetables as well as book and pay for your trip beforehand. You can do that on their official website:http://www.sj.se/

Copenhagen to Stockholm with a few hrs in Malmo

by dirtroady

I was just in Malmo for the first time and it's a nice city but not sure about more than a day either. What I found out though is that with a ticket on the Oresundstag train you can travel within 3 hours before and 3 hours after your departure time so one option is to go straight to Copenhagen then on your way to Stockholm hop off in Malmo, spend some hours then continue on.Probably a good idea to double check on the rule with the train agents just in case.

City-bykes

by solopes

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!

Boat cruise in Karlskrona

by hopang

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...

Rails and trains

by curiosone

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!

Bus between Stockholm-Skavsta airport and the city

by djers64

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.

Across the water

by Sjalen

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)...

Ferry

by SwedeSarah

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!
