LOCAL BOAT TRANSPORT
Travelling by local ferries is a fantastic way to experience a city built on islands. Ferries are used by both
commuters and tourists wanting to take a better look
around. There are regular ferry departures from Nybroviken and Slussen out to Djurgården, an island.
Djurgården ferry
These include white Djurgården ferries that depart for
Djurgården from Slussen. They are a classic feature of
life in Stockholm and they carry people to Skansen,
Waldemarsudde or the Rosendal gardens. During the
spring and summer they also ferry people to Gröna
Lund amusement park’s many attractions. The ferries
also make a regular stop at Skeppsholmen. All SL travel card holders (not prepaid cards) travel free on the
Djurgården ferry.
Other ferries: M/S Lotten or M/S Lisen
Those ferries take you across the water from Södermalm to Luma and Hammarby Sjöstad, Stockholm’s
latest, most modern city district. Ferries run daily during the summer season and on spring and fall weekends, and they are handicap and bicycle friendly. These
ferries are free of charge.
If you need to take a taxi late at night, we recommend
that you use one of the three established companies:
Taxi 020, Taxi Stockholm or Taxi Kurir. These companies also work with Färdtjänst, the taxi service for
handicapped passengers, and their taxis will
display a large letter “F” with the text Färdtjänsten on their window:
We advise caution in the use of independent
taxis (i.e. firms other than the three mentioned
above) even from taxi stands as there have been complaints about overcharging, illegible receipts and the
improper use taxi meters.
BICYCLE
You can buy a season pass of Stockholm City Bikes at
the Stockholm Tourist Center or on the web and borrow a bike from 110 sites around the city from April to
October.
Bicycle lanes are separated from pedestrian paths and
sometimes from the roads. However, bicycles are considered wheeled vehicles, so make sure to have adequate
lights, reflectors, and wear a helmet. If there no specific
signals or sign posting for bicycles, you are expected to
follow the car traffic rules.
BY FOOT
TAXI
There are many taxi companies to choose from in
Stockholm. Approved taxis with metered fares always
bear yellow number plates. Credit cards are readily accepted. Sweden does not regulate prices; they may vary
greatly.
Stockholm is a good city for walking and is very pedestrian friendly. Some streets are car free (Drottninggatan, Biblioteksgatan, Götgatsbacken). However, the
walking paths are often located next to the bike paths,
so beware not to stray into the bicycle zone.
