If you don't however, I believe it is three zones from märsta to stockholm so if you buy just the regular tickets it would cost you 60 SEK. Of course then there are plenty of other options if you plan ahead or plan on staying for a while and need a card. <BR/><BR/>good call on that option though.Hairy Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18041694218084956969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-66294796375713310202008-10-21T03:31:00.000-05:002008-10-21T03:31:00.000-05:00Hi, just FYI, there is also the option to take the...Hi, just FYI, there is also the option to take the city bus and pendeltåg (Stockholm's commuter train) from the airport. It takes a bit longer (just under an hour), but if you have a public transportation pass, it's free. Take bus 583 to Märsta, then pendeltåg toward Södertälje. The bus is timed to the train, so there is no waiting at the train station.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04595010756372874046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-81508090322093773672008-09-29T10:20:00.000-05:002008-09-29T10:20:00.000-05:00@t - that is glorious. and something I never would...@t - that is glorious. and something I never would have thought of. well done.<BR/><BR/>@jonas - no worries at all. feel free to comment on whatever you like.

I would like to say just one thing about the environmental problem with garbage disposal. The thing is that food now a days contain a lot of stuff (growth hormones, insect poison etc.)that will be transported to the fresh water reserves heading from your taps out to sea.<BR/><BR/>I don´t want to bore you with details. And I know this comment really belongs to a post almost a year old, so sorry about that. Great reding your stuff, I´ll be back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-44552664475053912702008-09-26T12:29:00.000-05:002008-09-26T12:29:00.000-05:00The beauty of it is, though, you don't actually ha...The beauty of it is, though, you don't actually have to stay at a hotel to use it. You can just see if a hotel on the list is near where you live and just take the van to that hotel as if you were staying there, then just walk to wherever you're going. It's not a service offered by the hotel, it's a private independent company, you negotiate directly with them, not with the hotel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-6709648179592805152008-09-26T12:01:00.000-05:002008-09-26T12:01:00.000-05:00@wow - thats crazy.@ljus - it is a bit of a small ...@wow - thats crazy.<BR/><BR/>@ljus - it is a bit of a small airport considering. but its a small country when it comes down toit. and good call ont he luggage advice. <BR/><BR/>@t. aka - also a good call. totally forgot about that option. mostly because I dont know that Ive ever actually stayed in a hotel in Sweden. but you're absolutely right. definitely chck out what your hotel has to offer.Hairy Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18041694218084956969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-61281650332879324692008-09-26T05:02:00.000-05:002008-09-26T05:02:00.000-05:00I just returned from Stockholm a few weeks ago and...I just returned from Stockholm a few weeks ago and wish I found your site before i left. Very informative.<BR/><BR/>However I found the best option for airport transportation to be the hotel shuttle van:<BR/><BR/>http://www.airportshuttle.se/showIndexPage.do<BR/><BR/>150 SEK and it drops you directly in front of your hotel and you can also arrange to be picked up directly from your hotel lobby. Not as fast as Arlanda Express but a godsend when you have a lot of heavy bags like I did and don't want to lug stuff around trains. Walking through Central station with my extremely heavy bags trying to get to the Arlanda Express was a nightmare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-84606882574671246272008-09-26T04:45:00.000-05:002008-09-26T04:45:00.000-05:00Arlanda...a really small airport considered it's t...Arlanda...a really small airport considered it's the only one in Stockholm, the capital of Scandinavian, as they say.<BR/><BR/>Plus, take care of the luggage while you're in the airport or in the central station, strangers may come up and do some tricks.(:Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-18625731854773378002008-09-25T16:27:00.000-05:002008-09-25T16:27:00.000-05:00Did you see this?http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_new...Did you see this?<BR/><BR/>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7636577.stmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
