Getting Around
Metro
Stockholm's Metro costs 44 SEK for a single adult ticket (available via the SL app or vending machines) and operates from 5am to 1am, connecting key areas like Gamla Stan and Södermalm. For a money-saving hack, consider the 30-day pass at 880 SEK if you're staying longer as it grants unlimited travel throughout the city, including buses and trams.
Taxi
In Stockholm, taxis are widely available around the city and cost approximately 450-600 SEK for a ride to Gamla Stan from T-Centralen, but always opt for payment via credit card to avoid surge pricing. Insider tip: pre-book a taxi through a reputable company like Taxi Stockholm or Uber for a fixed fare, ensuring you don't fall prey to overcharging by street taxis, especially late at night.

average time to city center
In Sweden, there's a law that allows only representatives of scientific and creative elites to stay in all historically significant places of old towns and the area of the palaces 🤷♀️💡 The average cost of rentals here is around $1,200 for a small apartment, with higher-end places significantly more expensive. The remaining costs are covered by the government. »
I mean, not that I dislike it! 🤔 The city is certainly nice, but it just wasn't for me. 😕
First, I didn't see what I desperately wanted to see... (not that it wasn't there, but because we didn't have time to reach it). And second, people. Honestly, Scandinavians didn't strike me as the most friendly (especially since you have to pay for a cup of coffee in cafes! 😢💸💵).
But, disregarding that) we must say it is definitely worth visiting.
A very beautiful place and incredibly tasty (local drink like glintwein), which they serve with a delicious cookie shaped like a heart 💖! »
It's really cool and quite different, though to be honest, a bit pricey. We quickly explored the city since we only had six hours. But we loved it and we definitely want to come back to take everything in and enjoy the city. :) »
