Does Stockholm have trams?

The tram and light rail lines in SL's network and the Djurgården tram.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, Stockholm has trams: Tvärbanan, Nockebybanan, Lidingöbanan and Spårväg City all run in Stockholm County's public transport network. Visit Sweden says tram number 7 takes visitors from T-Centralen across Djurgården, and SL has separate maps for Tvärbanan and Nockebybanan.

Why

  1. Region Stockholm's fact sheet on SL lists Tvärbanan, Nockebybanan, Lidingöbanan and Spårväg City among the local rail and tram lines, along with Saltsjöbanan and Roslagsbanan.
  2. Region Stockholm's project page describes work on Tvärbanan, Nockebybanan and Lidingöbanan, including a seven kilometre extension of Tvärbanan from Bromma airport to Ursvik.
  3. According to Visit Sweden, tram number 7 is a sightseeing line from T-Centralen across Djurgården and on to Waldemarsudde.

Details

SL's rail maps page has separate maps for Tvärbanan and Nockebybanan. On the trams and other local lines you cannot pay with cash, according to SL, which accepts cash only at metro ticket offices. For the wider SL system, see the guide to urban transport and train and subway stations in Stockholm, and for ideas on a short visit, see cheap things to do in Stockholm.

Tip

For the Djurgården tram, start at T-Centralen and look up the trip in the SL app, which gives the stop and departure for your day.

What may differ

Payment differs by vehicle: SL accepts cash only at metro ticket offices, and not on buses, commuter boats or other trams and local lines.

Common misconception

Stockholm has no trams today.

What actually happens

Region Stockholm and SL both list active tram and light rail lines in the county, among them Tvärbanan, Nockebybanan, Lidingöbanan and Spårväg City.
