Stockholm Transit Pass
Headed to Stockholm next month for a quick 3.5 day trip, and am having a hard time figuring out which transit passes cover which modes of transport. We'll be taking the Arlanda Express into town, staying on Skeppsholem and will primarily be in and around downtown - Ostermalm, Norrmalm, Gamlastan, Sodermalm and Djurgarden. I understand that Arlanda Express is on its own ticket, but is there a transit pass that covers local ferries (e.g. Skeppsholem - Slussen) and subways? Where do I purchase it? I'm finding conflicting explanations all over the internet so hoping someone here can set me straight. Thank you!

The 72-hour SL pass is sold by Pressbyran convenience stores, the Arlanda tourist office and SL offices. I’m not sure if you can make the 72 hour pass work for you given your 3.5 day visit, but the 72 hour pass period starts from first swipe use on the SL bus/train/tram/ferry. The 72 hour SL pass is not good for the trains from Arlanda airport, but you seem to know something about that already. There is an SL office on the lower retail level at Stockholm Central station, the final destination of the Arlanda Express, but I would instead use one of the Pressbyren stores at Stockholm C to buy the 72-hour SL passes. The Pressbyren stores at Arlanda airport also sell the SL passes, but the tourist office at Arlanda is usually more conveniently located for me. |

If you really want to get cheap transportation, a solution could be to take SL bus 583 from Arlanda to Märsta, and catch an SL commuter train from there to Stockholm C. The 72 hour pass is valid, and there's no extra charge if you take the bus to Märsta first. GUWonder recommends the tourist office at Arlanda. The airport's information desks double as tourist offices, and they sell all kinds of tickets. If you arrive in terminal 5, you can find the information desk 30 meters to the right after customs. If you arrive in terminal 2, you can find the info desk 10 meters straight ahead after passing through customs. |
Excellent, thank you. Doing the math the 72-hour pass seems perfect and easy to pick up as we head out of the airport on arrival.
