I love love love cities with public transportation. I've ridden metros in 50+ cities from Amsterdam…read moreto Zürich, Dallas to Santiago, Beijing to Toronto. Stockholm's Tunnelbana system is just as good as any of them. I bought a seven day pass and that meant I didn't need to be concerned about whether or not a one-stop trip was a good use of my money. I was on and off and on and off. The pass is valid on the trams and the buses too! Good signage and easy to operate though I only got lost once or twice. You need to know which is the last station on your line so you know you're headed in the right direction. Most of the stations have lifts or escalators. Some stations have staff. A few stations have indicators of the next train and how long you're going to need to wait for it. The trains are frequent enough and they are definitely clean. I did not see litter in the system and I did not experience anyone walking the train begging or selling stuff. [Review 18784 overall - 90 in Sweden - 2307 of 2022.]

You can book guided tours, but you can also do a self-guided tour for free! I suggest googling self-guided tours on Google and finding a tour that sounds most interesting to you. You normally start at T-Central and work your way up and down the green, blue, and red lines. There is so much to see, I definitely recommend!! New York city subways could NEVER. These subways are unmatched, fun, and gorgeous! If you are exploring the subways yourself, I would give yourself 2 hours and buy the 75 minute ticket :)

This was my most common station as it's the closest to my hotel. Like my friend Aaron S., I was…read morealso at the Hilton Stockholm Slussen and this station is the most convenient. Stockholm has a pretty great public transport network and this was a fine one. After getting on the wrong way a couple of times, I finally figured it out. There are two separate sets of stairs and elevators. One goes to the tracks that go northbound and the other goes to the tracks that go into the city. Once you conquer that challenge, you'll be in a good place. This station is one where the lines converge so if you're headed to Gamla Stan or Centralstation, you can take any train heading in that direction. At street level, there is a staffed ticket booth and the customary turnstiles. I had purchased a seven day pass so I merely scan the QR code on the card over the glass and the gates opened. Easy. Down the stairs or use the lift to the platform level. The station is the first underground after the bridge, so it's not very protected from the cold or hot. It is at least underground so you're out of the rain. There was a pretty good presence of security here so I never felt threatened or unsafe. Overall, this was a good station and I had a positive interaction here. [Review 18108 overall - 15 in Sweden - 1630 of 2022.]

During my time in Stockholm, I stayed at the Hilton Stockholm Slussen which is only a couple…read moreminutes on foot away from this metro station - while also being a short walk away from the Old Town. With the lift our of order going towards Slussen, you might want to carry on to this station from Gamla Stan and get the reverse line back to ensure step-free access. The lifts are this station are typical of SL - the big heavy lifts where the doors aren't always automated - but as it is a big station the lift depends on the platform and I find the problem to be much worse heading away from Morby Centrum. I also noticed the gap between the train and the platform is much higher here than other nearby stations - this is common on the SL metro which is really frustrating as they claim all metro can be step-free (even though lifts regularly break down without warning which can cause hours of delay especially if it happens on the blue line), but there are huge gaps which you just can't find about online and no staff on the platform to assist - to be fair the staff member who seems to operate this station at the ticket office does seem to be friendly, but it is a very understaffed station. 2* as it is in a good location and does have lifts and access, even if the latter doesn't seem to be doing a great job sadly.

Their nifty app let's you order a taxi at a fixed price and it is of course also possible to add your card so that the payment is charged without having to take out the card in the taxi. As soon as booking there is a text message received confirming it and it also contains a link to where the receipt can be accessed later (of course one gets one by email as well). It is possible to see where the car booked is in the app and I have had many great experiences with it. The prices are also most of the time lower than the big taxi companies (usually 15-20% cheaper) and from what I heard from the drivers (many of whom drive for both Taxijakt and Uber) the drivers get to keep more of the money.
