How To Reach Sweden?

Let’s start with how you will reach this gem of a country. You will obviously need a visa, a Schengen visa to be exact. You won’t need a visa if you belong to certain countries though. The entire list can be found in the website for Schengen Visa. Let us now get to the logistics part. It will most probably be included in your Sweden vacation packages.

By Air

It makes the most sense if you are traveling from another continent. Arlanda, Stockholm’s international airport is connected to all European cities, and most of the major American, Asian, and Russian countries.

By Rail

If you have chosen your point of entry into the Schengen territory as another European country, you can easily take the Eurail and reach Stockholm. The rail connectivity is absolutely brilliant.

By Road

If you wish to do a road trip, Sweden is well connected through roadways to the rest of Europe. Shorter road trips would be preferable. But it depends on the type of Sweden tours you are planning on.
