"Flying from France is the fastest and most comfortable way to reach Stockholm. Several airlines offer direct connections from Paris, such as Ryanair and EasyJet for low-cost options, while Norwegian, Air France, and Lufthansa operate regular flights.
Depending on the time of year and the airline, round-trip tickets typically range between €60 and €300.
Stockholm has three airports:"
Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN):
It is the largest airport in Sweden.
Stockholm Bromma Airport (BMA):
Located 7 km from the city center, it mainly handles domestic flights and connections to certain European capitals.
Stockholm Skavsta Airport (NYO):
Located 110 km from Stockholm, it offers flights with low-cost airlines.
To get to downtown Stockholm, you can take:
-
Airport shuttle buses called Flygbussarna that connect the city center to Bromma and Arlanda airports.
-
The express train, Arlanda Express, which takes about 20 minutes, or the commuter train that takes a little over half an hour.
-
Taxis, with several companies providing the service, including Taxi Stockholm and Taxi 020.

It's an inexpensive mode of transport but can be quite tiring. Several European capitals offer direct connections, such as Oslo and Berlin.
From Copenhagen, the best option is to take the famous Øresund Bridge to Malmö, Sweden’s third-largest city.
The main bus companies are Flixbus and Nettbus.

Maritime transport is another common way to reach Stockholm.
The capital is also a must-visit destination for cruises in Scandinavia, and the island of Södermalm is where cruise ships arrive.
The ferry is also a well-developed mode of transport in the capital, connecting it to neighboring countries such as Finland, Latvia, and Estonia.

The Stockholm Central Station, located in Norrmalm, welcomes visitors arriving from Sweden or foreign countries, with lines departing from Oslo and Brussels, for example.
It is an affordable means of transport, but like the bus, it can be quite tiring.
