Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Stockholm
Sweden is almost cashless - many places don't accept cash at all. Always have a card ready. Even market vendors and small shops use card readers.
Lunch is the best deal: 'Dagens rätt' (dish of the day) at most restaurants includes main course, salad, bread, and drink for 100-130 SEK. Dinner can be 3x more expensive for same food.
Arlanda Express discount: book online for 149 SEK vs 299 SEK at station. Also, 2 people traveling together save - check group tickets. SL commuter train cheaper but takes longer.
Fika is essential Swedish culture - afternoon coffee break with pastry. Don't skip it! Try kanelbulle (cinnamon roll) or kardemummabulle (cardamom bun). Café culture is strong.
Vasa Museum is Stockholm's #1 attraction - an almost fully intact 17th-century ship that sank on its maiden voyage. Book time slot online in summer to avoid long queues.
Sundays are very quiet - many shops closed. Systembolaget (alcohol shops) closed Sundays. Plan accordingly. Restaurants and museums usually open.

Cards mandatory. Gamla Stan (Old Town) even accepts cards at tiny shops. Museums, Vasa ship, ABBA museum card-only. Expensive city - budget €80+/day. Beautiful archipelago city.
