Stockholm

Stockholm is the capital of Sweden, as well as the largest city, situated along the South-central East coast of the country. The city itself spreads out quite far into several districts and suburbs, with a large and complex public transportation system. There is also an active harbour located within the city-center (near the "old city" and the Slussen T-bana), from which cruise ships enter and leave to other major cities in the region. It was once thought possible to hitchhike the large commercial carrier trucks entering these cruise ships, but many drivers will tell you that it is illegal, and advise you to buy a passenger ticket, instead. Unlike some other ferries in Europe, where tickets are purchased per car, these ships require each passenger to pay individually. ����������������������
