Two other things that may be worth noting--
The express train between the city and Arlanda has a special summertimeticketing deal where 2 adults traveling together can share a singleticket costing 250 kr.
Also the 24 hour, 72 hour, and 7 day travel passes on the public transitsystem are good for the ferries that traffic the downtown waters, andthe "museum" tramhttp://www.sparvagssallskapet.se/djurgardslinjen/english.php
>>> 1. Taxi.>>> Expect to pay no more than SEK 500. Reputable taxi companies have>>> fixed prices around that. I prefer Taxi Stockholm, Taxi Kurir, and Taxi>>> 020.>>>>>> 2. High-speed direct train Arlanda Express.>>> Its Stockholm terminus is a mere 3 minutes walk from the conference hotel.>>> Return tickets at around SEK 460:->>> https://www.arlandaexpress.com:443/default.aspx?page=3&;>>>>>> 3. Airport coach service Flygbussarna.>>> A five minute walk from the hotel when in Stockholm.>>> Return ticket SEK 199:-. Tickets on the buses only payable by credit card.>>> http://www.flygbussarna.se/Default.aspx?lang=EN>>>>>> 4. Public transport. From Arlanda to town:>>>>>> You CAN'T buy a ticket on the bus!>>>>>> a. Get a ticket. Locate Arlanda Visitor Center in Terminal 5 and tell them>>> you want a SL ticket to Stockholm, via bus 583 etc. I think they sell a>>> strip of 16 tokens for SEK 180:- which is good for 4 single trips to or>>> from the airport. They  sell the 7 days card too, which is a very wise>>> choice if you expect to use the public transport at all during the week.>>> Price for the card is SEK 260:->>> Also ask where the 583 stops. As a courtesy to the more expensive forms of>>> transfer, the 583 is hidden so as to not appeal to much ;-)>>>>>> b. Locate the>>> bus stop for bus no 583, destination "Märsta Station". 583x might work>>> too, but make sure that the destination is Märsta.>>>>>> c. Get on, and get off>>> after some 20 minutes at the Märsta Station end stop. (You can't go too>>> far unless you are on the wrong direction.)>>>>>> d. At the station, get on the>>> commuter train for Stockholm (direction Södertälje). The trains and buses>>> match in time, so you have something like 5-8 minutes to get off the bus>>> and on the train.  Plenty, it is just a 100 metre walk. e. Get off at>>> Stockholm Central, just after station Karlberg. The>>> hotel is just 7 minutes away by foot. Get out of the platform  in the>>> north end, at the rear of the train. Much easier.>>>>>> On tickets: They are stamped by the driver in the beginning of each>>> trip (on buses) or by platform access people in booths before getting on>>> the platform. Make sure to keep the ticket. Controls happen. Also, the>>> ticket is vaild one hour from stamping time, and will be amendable by new>>> stamping when changing to a new means of transport within the hour. The>>> one-week card is easier, magnetic stripe or RFID.

> Moreover, for those of you who decide to stay in Stockholm after (or> arrive before) the meeting I would recommend you to get the Stockholm> Card> http://beta.stockholmtown.com/en/Information/Buy--Order/The-Stockholm-card/,> which gives you free admission to a lot of museums and attractions on> top of free travel by public transportation and bonus offers with> discounts on sightseeing tours among other things. You may choose from> three different categories: 24 hours, 48 hours or 72 hours
