Getting Around
Stockholm is easy to navigate as it has an excellent public transport system made up of buses, metro lines, trams and ferries. The metro is generally the most convenient way of getting around the city. Tickets are valid for all types of transport and can be purchased from stations and newsagent kiosks, and online. One and three-day passes are good deals for those planning to travel a lot. Driving in Stockholm is easy compared to most large cities, though drivers need to be aware of toll passages and an overall scarcity of parking. Walking or cycling are often the best options for sightseeing in the city centre; Uber and Lyft are also available.
