Stockholm Central Station is HUGE ! Super beautiful and there's so much to see, shop, and explore!…read more If you're like me and forgot to grab snacks or souvenirs before heading home this is a great last stop to pick up treats. Just note things are a bit overpriced, but that's kind of expected in a station like this. One thing that really stood out to me was how friendly and helpful people are. If you ask for help, they genuinely go out of their way, which made navigating way less stressful. Overall, it's pretty easy to find your way, but it's so big that you can def get a little lost. It also has direct access to the subway, which is super convenient. One tip: if you buy the 18-minute ticket to the airport, double check exactly what you're being sold and make sure you keep your copy. The tours & ticket booth (near McDonald's) sold us the wrong ticket and we weren't able to use it nor get refunded, which was really disappointing.

Very big with many levels and located right in the heart of Stockholm city. Took it from Sundyberg…read moreto Stockholm, easy from but abit lost once get to the central. With many signs with are both in Swedish & English, but can be abit confused. I got lost on first time here trying to find the right platform but from second day and on, easy and understood the layout and how it functions. Very beautiful central with both modern and mixed oldies. Very big and spacious with plenty of shops, snacks and others. I used this station as my commute to and from the city to and from where I stayed while in Sweden. Enjoys the transportation here a lot, easy and right on time and cheap too. No hassle with driving and traffic nor parking.

What a nice, safe, clean and easy way to get to Stockholm's Arlanda Airport from the Central…read moreTerminal Station. It feels so new, it took 18 minutes and we didn't need to bother with an Uber or taxi. They list the max speed at 200 km/hr (!!!) but we only saw it get as high as 170km/hr on the digital board on the train (which is another cool feature). Still, that's an impressive speed for an AirPort Express train! Loved the cool benches at the airport stations too. Rock on, Sweden!

OK, like many these days, I am watching my money. And coming in from the Stockholm airport,…read moreespecially if you have a monthly pass, it is cheaper to take the bus to Marsta and then the commuter train. But that takes longer and boy was it crowded yesterday. I had already contacted Arlanda Express because I will not be turning on my phone here. Why pay for all those telemarketers to annoy me. I'm older and accessing these QR codes scare me and I wanted to know if I could get a paper ticket. Yes but only here at the machines in Stockholm. Arlanda Express is quick to respond to your questions. This is the only way to go if you are jetlagged because of delayed and cancelled flights. There are 3 stops. Two at the airport and one at Central Station. Your other choice, the commuter train, can and yesterday was, packed like sardines. We couldn't even make it out the door and had to go to the next step and circle back. We are very familiar with Stockholm but you will find, for us non Swedish speakers, that the commuter train announcements and stations are worded slightly different than expected. Plus you have to walk to get it and walk and wait at the train station whereas Arlanda Express is right there AT the airport. It was COLD yesterday. On the return trip, I am spending the extra money for a more predictable trip. 18 minutes from Central Station. There are discounts for 2 or more paying normal price. Cheaper than a cab or ride share. And cheaper than an overnight stay at an airport hotel. But keep in mind that it only goes to Stockholm Central. That is fine if you are staying nearby. But even if you arent, Central Station has all the very good subway lines to transfer to. We were going to Sodermalm and I thought my initial commuter train was smart because once I got on it, it would take me to the part of town that I was staying, cheaper. At 24 hours awake, I have now learned to spend the extra few bucks on the faster less confusing option.

SJ is the Sweden's most popular and the fastest train, rolls from North of Sweden, all the way…read moreSouth to Copenhagen. This lounge is located in Stockholm and is restricted to people who hold frequent SJ travel card and first class travelers. The lounge is located on top of McDonalds and they offer complimentary WiFi, juices, coffee, tea and light snacks. Quiet area and comfortable chairs. Food and drink not impressive at all, but a very clean place. Definitely much better than the open space outside of the lounge in Stockholms Centralstation. The staff are helpful and will assist you with any questions, booking and reservations.

Fridhemsplan is probably the WORST station on the Stockholm Metro - it is one of two stops on the…read moreblue line to provide interchange onto another line, Fridhemsplan is on both blue and green lines. Coming out of the station the signing isn't clear in how to get between the blue and green lines - this meant I ended up heading out of the station first in what ended up being two lifts - one of them was the slowest lift I've ever seen - it took over 90 seconds (I timed it) to get up a steep slope via the incline lift - which much to my anger after getting right to the top, I was told by a staff member I'd have to go back down again and follow the end of the platform to the bridge. After getting the end, which was only sign-posted from the latter half of the platform - I was forced to go up a really steep hill to end up going towards the lift which goes to the blue line - only to find out it was out of order. Firstly, they had electronic signs which said the travellator (not escalator) was out of order on one side - why didn't it say that for the lift too to save passengers going all of the ways there, wasting more time for the only way up to the next platform to be a staircase? Secondly, I spoke to a staff member who directed me to this lift which was all blocked off - it said it would be fixed by the end of September - the look of the work being done and all the signs (which were only at the lift its-self which was a good 5-10 minute walk throughout the station) was ridiculous which meant the only way out of the station and the blue line would be to go via Central Station or exit the station in an area which looked really rough and unsafe - where I didn't want to walk around late at night. For the staff to lie about a lift which has been out of order for a while, and there to be no notice is bad enough - let alone the lack of signage causing me to use the wrong lift (to get out of the station - you must go in the station to go between platforms) which took 90 seconds... which I must add is too long for a lift anyway. This station is a true example of SL that they run an amazing system in Stockholm but when things go wrong they go so wrong with the lift's constantly going down for repair/faults with no notice in advance or at least on the metro train or at the platform to allow you to plan ahead. 1*

My only gripe about this particular location, is that the station itself unlike other locations was not clean, and more to the point, the customer Service was just deplorable. Tickets need to be purchased prior to getting on public transportation. In planning to go to different locations, I had asked if it was possible to purchase an extended pass or additional tickets. I was told no, only to discover on the other end of the journey, that I absolutely could have and should have purchased the extended pass.

Stockholm City Station is the busiest railway station in Sweden (not counting the metro) and is on…read moreall Stockholm Commuter Rail trains - interestingly the location is quite strange - directly below T-Centralen (the hub of the Stockholm Metro) and interchange with Stockholm Central Station meaning you often have to pass through the many lifts of Stockholm Central to get through to it. The platforms do seem clean and modern but I do feel they do a really bad job regarding showing where to wait for your train Ie) I was waiting for service into Solna and there was no signs or any organisation to say the doors will open at the front/end of the platform, or even which platforms to go to (they all seemed to be accessed by different lifts) This was quite concerning as I was already running late and I didn't know where to go, with the staff above the platforms being unhelpful and the platforms themselves being unstaffed. It does have level access here to board the train even though there might be a slight gap at other stations so that is a bonus, considering this and the fact the station is pretty modern and clean and due to its location within Central Station and being close to T-Centrallen too, you can easily continue your journey around Stockholm and even the world (Considering the Arlanda Express runs into the Airport from adjacent Stockholm Centraal Station). 2*
