Getting around Stockholm

[riot23]

We're docking in Nynashamn in August on the Regal Princess. The plan is to take the train into Stockholm, visit the Vasa Museum, the ABBA Museum and some time in Gamla Stan. Anyone have the best modes transportation / routes for getting around with little back tracking? We're most likely going to get the 1 day travel card. My understanding is this covers travel to and from the port and all public transportation in the city. All the islands have me slightly confused about the most direct way to get around.

The easiest way is bus #69 (towards Kaknästornet) from Sergelstorg/Mäster Samuelsgatan to Djurgårdsbron for Stockholm City stn to Vasa.

Exit Stockholm city at the Sergelstorg/Drottningatan exit. It is located next to H&M. Then take a left, the bus stop will be

to the right where Drottninggatan crosses Mäster Samuelsgatan.

(Drottninggatan is where the cross walk is).

From Vasa to Abba is just a short walk (a couple of hundred meters) then from Abba it's an even shorter walk

to Allmänna gränd from where you can catch Djurgårdsfärjan to Gamla Stan. From Gamla Stan it is not far back

to Stockholm city station.

This is the path I put together before going, used it last week and worked great! The all-day ticket covered the train from Nynashman to Stockholm and back, the Djurgarden ferry, and the Tram 7 back to Kungstragarden. (Forgive my Swedish misspellings.) Upon arrival in Stockholm, we walked to City Hall, did the guided tour, walked to Gamla Stan, strolled around, ate lunch, ferried to Djurgarden, went to Vasa museum, Tram 7 back to Kungstragarden, then walked back to Stockholm City commuter station to catch train to Nynashamn.

 

The only downside was the train back to Nynashamn did not go straight thru. There were issues that forced the train to stop in Hamden. From there, they sent replacement buses to shuttle us past two stations, where we got back on train to finish journey to Nynashamn. The buses were a 10 minute walk away and hard to find, with little direction. We had left early enough that we made ship with 30 minutes to spare, but anyone not expecting this and catching last train might be caught missing ship. Be prepared for such mishaps, and don't take the last train. In talking to others who took a bus, they had similar problems also and nearly missed ship.
