Traveling by Public Transport
The public transportation system in Stockholm is reliable and fairly
punctual. You can travel by T-banan (the underground), commuter trains
and buses. The SL transportation card for 24 and 72 hours is good for
unlimited travel in the county of Stockholm and can be purchased at
Tourist Information Offices, SL Ticket Offices and Pressbyrån kiosks.
It is also possible to buy a single (or prepaid) ticket at the time of
the journey. The ticket costs SEK 20 and is valid for unlimited travel
during one hour. Underground stations can be identified by signs with a blue T on a white
background. The commuter train stations are just as easily recognized -
a blue J on a white background.
For information about public transport to Stockholm University, visit
the local site of Stockholm
Transport (SL) (English version is available).

Climate
In the month of September the weather in Sweden can be quite warm and
sunny. The average daytime temperature is around 18ºC (65ºF). Stockholm
is built on water and the water is clean enough to swim in, downtown
Stockholm, but look out! It might look inviting but the water
temperature seldom reaches above 15º-17ºC (50º-60ºF) in the summer. The
evenings get chilly and there might be some rain as well, so we
recommend bringing a rain coat and warm clothing.
