Stockholm

Stockholm is a safe city with low rates of violent crime against tourists. Petty theft (pickpocketing) can occur in tourist areas and on public transit, but is less common than in many European capitals. The city feels safe to walk around at all hours in central areas.

🚇 Getting Around

Naples

Naples has a metro, funiculars, and buses, but the system is notoriously unreliable. The historic center is best explored on foot. Taxis and apps fill the gaps.

Walkability: Excellent in the historic center — Spaccanapoli, Via dei Tribunali, and the waterfront are all walkable. The Vomero hill requires a funicular. Be careful of scooters on narrow streets.

Metro Line 1 — €1.30 single, €4.00 for daily pass

Funiculars — €1.30 single (same ticket as metro)

Circumvesuviana — €3.60 to Pompeii, €4.60 to Sorrento

Stockholm

Stockholm has excellent public transit run by SL (Storstockholms Lokaltrafik) including metro, buses, trams, commuter rail, and ferries. An SL Access card or the SL app is essential. The city is also very walkable, and ferries are a scenic way to reach Djurgarden and the archipelago.

Walkability: Central Stockholm is very walkable. Gamla Stan is compact and car-free in parts. The walk from Gamla Stan through Sodermalm or across to Djurgarden is scenic and manageable. The waterfront promenades on Strandvagen and around City Hall are highlights.

Tunnelbana (T-bana) — 39 SEK ($3.65) single ticket; 165 SEK ($15.45) for 24-hour pass; 440 SEK ($41) for 72-hour pass

SL Buses — 39 SEK ($3.65) single ticket (same as T-bana)

SL Ferries & Waxholmsbolaget — SL ferry included in SL pass; Waxholmsbolaget 100-200 SEK ($9-19) to archipelago islands
