Stockholm's Required Information

Currency

Since 1873, Sweden has used the Swedish krona (symbol: kr, currency code: SEK). Although Sweden is a member of the European Union, it has chosen not to adopt the euro. The krona is issued by Sweden’s central bank, the Sveriges Riksbank, one of the world’s oldest central banks.

Prices are typically written with the symbol after the amount, for example 100 kr. Sweden is largely cashless, and card payments are widely accepted throughout Stockholm.

Power outlets

Sweden uses plug types C and F (two round pins, with type F including two earth clips on the side).

  • Voltage: 230V
  • Frequency: 50Hz

These are the same standards used in most of Europe.

Train Travel

Stockholm’s main railway station is Stockholm Central Station (Stockholms Centralstation), located in the city center. It is the hub for long-distance, regional, and commuter trains across Sweden and to neighboring countries.

High-speed and long-distance services connect Stockholm with cities such as Gothenburg and Malmö, as well as Copenhagen in Denmark.

Air Travel

Stockholm’s main international airport is Stockholm Arlanda Airport (IATA: ARN, ICAO: ESSA), located approximately 40 kilometers north of Stockholm city center.

Arlanda is well connected to the city via the high-speed Arlanda Express train, commuter trains, buses, and taxis.

Public Transportation

Stockholm’s public transport system is efficient and well integrated. It includes:

  • The Stockholm Metro (Tunnelbana) – known for its art-filled underground stations
  • Commuter trains (Pendeltåg)
  • Trams
  • Extensive bus services
  • Ferries connecting various islands in the archipelago

All services are operated by Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL). One ticket or travel card can be used across the entire network.

Alternative Transport

The best way to get around Stockholm is by metro and commuter trains. The Tunnelbana covers the city center and suburbs, while buses and trams serve additional routes.

Taxis are widely available and can be hailed on the street or booked via apps. Cycling is also popular, especially during warmer months. Ferries are a scenic way to travel between islands within the city.

TRAVELLING WITH MEDICATION

If you are visiting Sweden or returning to the country with prescription medication, you are generally allowed to bring medicines for personal use.

  • Carry medication in original packaging.
  • Bring a copy of your prescription or a doctor’s note.
  • Certain controlled substances may require special documentation.

For specific regulations, it is advisable to check with the Swedish Medical Products Agency before travel.

Visa and Entry

Sweden is part of the Schengen Area.

U.S. citizens may enter Sweden for up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism or business without a visa. Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area.

Travelers from other countries should check visa requirements with Swedish authorities before travel.
