You'll need ticket coupons or a pass to ride the trains; these can be purchased from machines in any station. Your ticket options include:
Coupon books. These come in books of 10 or 20 coupons. Again, remember to stamp your coupons. Passes. All-you-can ride passes give 24 hours, 72 hours, or 30 days of travel in the Stockholm metropolitan area. In addition to saving money, these eliminate the need to figure out zones or validate ticket coupons. Stockholm Card. This is your best deal if you plan to visit museums and aren't entitled to student discounts on admissions. For a flat rate, the Stockholm Card gives you one, two, or three days of unlimited public transportation, admission to 70+ museums and attractions, parking in the city center, two tours by sightseeing boat, and discounts on several other excursions. To use it, just show it to the ticket agent as you enter the T-Bana. Buy it from the Stockholm Visitors Board or our sightseeing-tour partner, Viator.
