Hötorget metro station is a station on the green line of the Stockholm metro, located by Hötorget…read morein Norrmalm, central Stockholm. It is located just under a mile away from Slussen, which is where I stayed during my time in the city. It uses island platforms and is on all green lines (T17, T18, T19) which all go on slightly different routes between Rådmansgatan and T-Centralen. The station seemed to be layed out much better and clearer than other stations with signs saying "this platform for Central Station" for example - I have found that many other stations on the network did appear to be too large and difficult to navigate, but it didn't seem to be much of a problem here. The tiling here has been preserved so you won't see the same levels of art etc you see at other stations, which is a shame as Stockholm's Metro has some of the best underground metro art I've seen at any subway throughout Europe. It did appear to be understaffed for a metro station in such a central part of Stockholm, and it didn't seem to compare to other nearby stations in Stockholm centre which seemed to either be more modern or have more facilities but still, it is in a good location, again it is a shame the red line hasn't been connected through here like both stations either side of here on at least one route so it could mean changing to get on with your journey. 2*

Simple laziness on my part, I was walking back from Riddarholmskyrkan to the Hilton Slussen and so…read moreI took the metro ONE stop to Slussen t-bana. It is sort of under the Centralbron bridge and underground though it has some crosswind from the outside. In the winter, this is not a place to hang around. This station is part of the core of the city center and the red and green lines converge through here. The station is also the closest to the old town tourist district so I would expect it to be more appealing to visitors. Signage was decent and I spotted the usual turnstiles and ticket vending machines. There were t-bana staff about and security. The station has two island platforms for four parallel tracks. The red line trains (Line 13 and 14) utilize the inner pair and the green line (Lines 17, 18 and 19) use the outside tracks. There is free inside transfer between the lines.

Gamla Stan is a station of the Stockholm metro on the Green and Red lines, often falling between…read moreCentral Station and Slussen - at the moment this station is the only in-accessible station on the metro with the lift currently being out of order, with only large staircases from the platform to ticket hall/exit - which is such a kerfuffle I'd even say if you do struggle with steps, you'd be better off getting off at Slussen and even walking for a few minutes or going one stop on the tram, which pulls right outside the Vapiano, you can see while waiting for a train on the platform. The station did seem a little dirtier than other stations - it is one of the few on the network which does seem to attract homeless people in certain areas. I didn't find there to be any staff at the station, which for me during a difficult period with the lift breaking down with no prior notice (you wouldn't know the lift has broken down until you physically get off the train) to be quite poor form as there should be someone or something reminding or informing people of these problems, and helping them get around them without too much delay or distress. It really does need to fix cleanliness and access and perhaps make Gamla Stan, a fairly central station in Stockholm's metro network, a staffed station. 1*

Compared to other stations - it seemed a little understaffed and the artwork wasn't as impressive - in many areas the station just felt bare, it felt like it was trying to copy T-Centralen but just a worse version. Parts of the station could be signposted better and kept better (in terms of cleanliness, overall feel etc) as I was a little confused leaving the station towards East Station. A much-needed station to connect onto the Roslagbanan, in what is far from the nicest part of the city of Stockholm. 2*

10 minutes away from central Stockholm on the T-bana (metro), Solna Centrum is one of my favourite…read morestations on the network for the overall art and beauty of the station, a red and green painting which goes around both platforms and the small interchange looks great, although Stockholm's metro art is already pretty good across most stations. After leaving here it is a good walk away from what I'd say is the main part of Solna, one of the country's fastest-growing cities a short journey away from Stockholm so if you are heading to a game at the Friends Arena or the country's largest shopping mall, Mall of Scandinavia you might want to take the train from Stockholm City instead getting into Solna Station for easier access - however, this could be a way to beat the crowds. There were signs for the Friends Arena and Mall of Scandinavia originally but after leaving the platform, it was so difficult as everything seemed to vanish - even finding the bus stop to head there was a little tricky and my GPS seemed to be unable to direct me any further as Google Maps doesn't seem to understand underground subways. It is right near Solna Centrum shopping mall, of course carrying the same name but this appears to be really run down since the opening of Mall of Scandinavia in late 2015. The station is only on one line, T11 which means if you want to make any connections onto any other line, you would probably have to go into Central Station which isn't ideal, but it could help to beat the crowds on a match-day after waiting for AIK or Sweden's national team play nearby. 3* - The artwork is something to be proud at and once you know where you're going (good for the many houses and offices close to the station), the commute towards Solna centrum and the shopping, dining and football facilities isn't too bad - better signage from the station and perhaps making this station staffed would be a great improvement. As with any station on the metro network, it is step-free and the gap between the train and the platform isn't bad compared to other stations as expected as this is a newer station, opening on the 1975 blue line extension.

The Arlanda Express train is quite expensive (640 SEK RT for a single rider), but it's more…read moreconvenient in terms of time table compared to the other train options which come less often. Also if you're flying from Terminal 5, you save some time from walking to the transit hub at Terminal 4. Essentially as soon as you exit Terminal 5 baggage claim, you walk directly to where it says Arlanda Express, and take the lift up and you're on your way to Central Station. If you're traveling with multiple people, make sure you buy your tickets together because they offer a multi passenger discount. I flew by myself so I didn't get to utilize this discount... next time! There's no assigned seating (it's open seating!), so just hop on and find a seat (and a place for your bags). It saves time from having to find a specific train car or assigned seat. At Central Station, Arlanda Express operates from Spår 1 & 2. There's quite a bit of gravel outside the station, so I recommend walking inside the station vs dragging it through the gravel outside. Time and distance is the same. I flew SAS, so when I returned to Arlanda, I took the escalators up to the side that said Departures. Follow the signs up, and you'll reach the check-in counter directly in front of the escalators for SAS. Fast Track are to the right of the escalator, for those who don't have any bags. Pretty convenient if I might say! All in all, it took me about 40-45 minutes to complete my journey from Central Station to the SAS check-in counters & Fast Track. So while I paid an arm and a leg for Arlanda Express, it was very convenient since I didn't have to walk too much to get to/from Stockholm. It was nice that at T5, it literally drops you off right at the SAS check in area. Given the high price point, I give it a solid 3.5 stars rounded down to 3 stars. If the price can be cheaper, I'd definitely give it a higher rating.

Still, that's an impressive speed for an AirPort Express train! Loved the cool benches at the airport stations too. Rock on, Sweden!

T-Centralen where "T" is an abreviation for "tunnelbana" that is the Swedish word for underground. Lots of escalators and many lifts. This is the only station where all of the subway lines meet and is therefore the busiest station in the Swedish network with an underground underpass to the Stockholm Central Station (for national and regional trains) where we caught the Arlanda Express to the airport. Both of the blue lines (Lines 10 and 11), both of the red lines (Lines 13 and 14) and all three of the green lines (Lines 17, 18 and 19). Thankfully, there's a great color map that shows what's what and where. Many food and shopping opportunities. Luggage storage areas. Several places to sit and rest. We were through here several times and never had time to properly explore. It was a connecting point and a good one for that. [Review 18722 overall - 56 in Sweden - 2245 of 2022.]

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.

Stockholm's Tunnelbana system is just as good as any of them. I bought a seven day pass and that meant I didn't need to be concerned about whether or not a one-stop trip was a good use of my money. I was on and off and on and off. The pass is valid on the trams and the buses too! Good signage and easy to operate though I only got lost once or twice. You need to know which is the last station on your line so you know you're headed in the right direction. Most of the stations have lifts or escalators. Some stations have staff. A few stations have indicators of the next train and how long you're going to need to wait for it. The trains are frequent enough and they are definitely clean. I did not see litter in the system and I did not experience anyone walking the train begging or selling stuff. [Review 18784 overall - 90 in Sweden - 2307 of 2022.]
