You can plan your journey with SL Stockholm Public Transport (subway, commuter trains), SJ Trains, and ResRobot. But navigating between trains, the subway, commuter trains, and buses can be confusing, even for a regular commuter. It’s even more challenging for tourists and especially difficult for those with physical limitations. What does the information board say? What should you do if the escalators are out of order, which happens frequently?
- T-Centralen is the main hub for the subway. It shares the same entrances as Stockholm City. Map.Info from Jernhusen.
- Stockholm City is located beneath T-Centralen and is for commuter trains.
- At Cityterminalen, between Klarabergsviadukten and Kungsbron (Kungsgatan), buses connect to a waiting area. They offer connections to flights (Arlanda, Bromma) and ferries, along with regular line buses and international routes. Map. Info from Jernhusen.
- Stockholm Central Station is served by regional trains, long-distance trains, and the Arlanda Express. The station is visible from Vasagatan, with the main white building and large waiting hall. <photo> Below is a lower level with pedestrian tunnels. From this level, you can access the subway (mainly the red and green lines) and commuter trains. Map. Info from Jernhusen.
