Two other things that may be worth noting-- The express train between the city and Arlanda has a special summertime ticketing deal where 2 adults traveling together can share a single ticket costing 250 kr.
Also the 24 hour, 72 hour, and 7 day travel passes on the public transit system are good for the ferries that traffic the downtown waters, and the "museum" tram http://www.sparvagssallskapet.se/djurgardslinjen/english.php >>> 1. Taxi. >>> Expect to pay no more than SEK 500. Reputable taxi companies have >>> fixed prices around that. I prefer Taxi Stockholm, Taxi Kurir, and Taxi >>> 020. >>> >>> 2. High-speed direct train Arlanda Express. >>> Its Stockholm terminus is a mere 3 minutes walk from the conference hotel. >>> Return tickets at around SEK 460:- >>> https://www.arlandaexpress.com:443/default.aspx?page=3&; >>> >>> 3. Airport coach service Flygbussarna. >>> A five minute walk from the hotel when in Stockholm. >>> Return ticket SEK 199:-. Tickets on the buses only payable by credit card. >>> http://www.flygbussarna.se/Default.aspx?lang=EN >>> >>> 4. Public transport. From Arlanda to town: >>> >>> You CAN'T buy a ticket on the bus! >>> >>> a. Get a ticket. Locate Arlanda Visitor Center in Terminal 5 and tell them >>> you want a SL ticket to Stockholm, via bus 583 etc. I think they sell a >>> strip of 16 tokens for SEK 180:- which is good for 4 single trips to or >>> from the airport. They sell the 7 days card too, which is a very wise >>> choice if you expect to use the public transport at all during the week. >>> Price for the card is SEK 260:- >>> Also ask where the 583 stops. As a courtesy to the more expensive forms of >>> transfer, the 583 is hidden so as to not appeal to much ;-) >>> >>> b. Locate the >>> bus stop for bus no 583, destination "Märsta Station". 583x might work >>> too, but make sure that the destination is Märsta. >>> >>> c. Get on, and get off >>> after some 20 minutes at the Märsta Station end stop. (You can't go too >>> far unless you are on the wrong direction.) >>> >>> d. At the station, get on the >>> commuter train for Stockholm (direction Södertälje). The trains and buses >>> match in time, so you have something like 5-8 minutes to get off the bus >>> and on the train. Plenty, it is just a 100 metre walk. e. Get off at >>> Stockholm Central, just after station Karlberg. The >>> hotel is just 7 minutes away by foot. Get out of the platform in the >>> north end, at the rear of the train. Much easier. >>> >>> On tickets: They are stamped by the driver in the beginning of each >>> trip (on buses) or by platform access people in booths before getting on >>> the platform. Make sure to keep the ticket. Controls happen. Also, the >>> ticket is vaild one hour from stamping time, and will be amendable by new >>> stamping when changing to a new means of transport within the hour. The >>> one-week card is easier, magnetic stripe or RFID. >> For more information about public transportation in Stockholm, please >> visit <http://www.sl.se/Templates/SubStart.aspx?id=1906>.
