Getting around by train Stockholm

Centralen is the railway station, where you can also find the subway, commuter trains and the Arlanda Express, which connects the airport to the center of Stockholm. It is organized on two floors: from the first floor, you can access the mainline trains, and the basement allows you to reach the Pendeltåg (the equivalent of the RER) and the Tunnelbana (the subway).

The train floor also has small cafes and restaurants, so it's perfect for a snack before departure.

SJ is the national railway company. It serves all of Sweden, but also Oslo, Narvik, Copenhagen, and since 2022 night trains go to Hamburg and Berlin. The trains are very comfortable, fast and clean, and the landscapes you travel through on them are sometimes breathtaking. It is by far the best option to travel within the country. As far as prices are concerned, the fares are affordable (especially if you book in advance) and there are discounts for young people, students and seniors.
