Stockholm buses offer some unique advantages over other forms of long-distance travel. Firstly, bus prices tend to be cheaper than plane tickets or the costs associated with traveling by car (gas, tolls, and the “congestion tax” levied in certain parts of central Stockholm). For those on a budget, cheap bus tickets are hard to beat. Secondly, in terms of convenience, bus stations are usually located in the downtown part of cities. In contrast, airports are usually far removed from the city and require the added costs of time and money to find a way into the downtown area. Thirdly, riding in a bus is a far less stressful experience than driving a car—especially if you’re not from the area. For example, foreign citizens driving around Stockholm and other areas have to be familiar with Swedish driving rules and learn to read Swedish road signs. Bus passengers, however, can admire the landscape as they look out the window.

The ticket price can vary depending on general demand and more importantly where you’re coming from. If you’re leaving from a popular departure point like Copenhagen for instance, prices usually start around $99. Gothenburg and Malmö are other options, with prices usually starting from around $175 and $75 respectively.
