But i dont drink beer so that wont bother me too much Stockholm is expensive (as is all Sweden) for booze but it's lovely. Weather shouldn't be too bad in September. If you get chance take the train (so much better than UK ones) up to Uppsala (20 mins North) as it's lovely. A big student town (where I went to Uni) and full of history and character (one of the oldest Uni's in Europe). If you could get up to Kiruna it's lovely but a fair way to go and maybe better waiting until winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the metro is good but its also a walkable city as well unless you are staying far from the city centre Edited April 13, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swedens been on my list of countries to visit for a very long time The pretty standard euro-plug at 220 volts Standard euro roaming so you are most certainly free to use your standard allowance. Double-check with our local carrier though to be sure. Not knowing exactly where you are staying, but a very nice one is https://restaurangprinsen.se/en/ Book in advance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Swedish Krona is tanking so you might get a bit more value for money than usual. Although prices have gone up due to well, everything so maybe not. Edited September 24, 2022 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember we went on the open top bus on the first day to get an idea of the city and get on and off at different places, then just walked around. We got a taxi once and it was extortionate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's walkng distance or you want to see the city just wandering, then yes. They also recently switched to the same type of system that London has where you just tap your creditcard. No more faffing about with travel-passes or cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 City center really isn't all that big so unless you are in a rush I'd say walking is a good option. It's a nice city to walk around in. Or you can go by boat if you want to go to or from Djurgården. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ok thats handy to know you can just tap your bank card and you dont need get their version of a oyster. I was thinking of doing the red bus tour but reading online apparently has really negative reviews drivers not stopping or saying what the stop is. Also heard the buses stop at 4pm which is abit early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
