Stockholm train fare!!

Well,just booked a 'pensioner' return fare from the airport to city centre,the fare worked out at £24:00 return!!! Wow that is expensive,is it a long train ride?
The return fare on the Domodedovo to Moscow train was only £6:00!!!...

Is the cost of living high in Sweden??

You paid to ride the Arlanda Express (the equivalent of Heathrow Express). There is an airport bus that makes several stops before terminating in City Terminal for GBP15 return.

Arlanda express is pricy, but it sure is FAST.

In general I found the cost in Stockholm roughly comparable to London.

IIRC a RT on NEX (I'm not sure whether I'm remembering the Green Car (FC) or not) between NRT and Tokyo or the same trip in the Friendly airport limo bus (stopping at your hotel) is about 6,000 yen or very roughly US$60. There are cheaper alternatives.

Fares between ICN and Seoul in the luxury buses would be approximately the same.

It's about twenty minutes, if on the Arlanda Express.

Stockholm isn't cheap, but it's not all that expensive for those working and living there. Sweden overall has a relatively high cost of living, but it doesn't seem all that expensive compared to what I pay in NYC, Chicago and DC. And with the SEK falling against the U.S. Dollar, Sweden is cheaper now than it has been for the better part of a decade.

For my habits, Stockholm tends to be much cheaper for me than London except when it comes to food and drinks.

You're scaring me with those prices! haha
Still the longer ride means nappy time which means I can hit the ground running after a trans-atlantic flight.
