Bus & Train

Since the airport is pretty far from the center of Stockholm, you will have to combine 2 means of transport in order to get to the city.

To get to the center of Stockholm, the first thing is to take a local bus no. 515 which will take you to the railway station of Nyköping. From there, you will need to take a train to Stockholm which runs once per hour. You can buy a combined ticket (for both bus and train) which will cost you around 100 SEK (~10 €) if buying in advance.

In last case, cash is not allowed. The total journey could take approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.

NOTE: While in Stockholm, you can make Stockholm City Pass, a sightseeing card which allows you to save some money while exploring Stockholm. Check the detailed information here.
