Nynashamn

This is a anchor port. This is an alternative port for Stockholm, much easier to reach for the ship, but much further away for the passenger to visit Stockholm. A 260 metre-long SeaWalk, an extendible/retractable floating pier. This can be extended out and connected directly to the cruise ship to make it possible for passengers to disembark directly onto dry land.

A shuttle bus runs in the morning and afternoon. Tickets are 40 SEK and can be bought from the Tourist Information Office by the cruise ship pier. Walking takes about 10-15 minutes; follow the blue line on the pavement.

This is a hugely popular destination for Swedes of all ages in the summer months. The Polferries terminal also offer regular routes to Gdansk in Poland. Several cruise ships on tours in the Baltic Sea also stay in the harbor, because they are too large to go into Stockholm.

During the summer months, the harbor is packed with boats of all sizes, and bustles with both visitors and locals. There are a number of eateries and boutiques with locally made produce. The main town is mainly modern and the buildings uninteresting generally.

There will be a cottage open with staff from the tourist information office at the dock and they can provide tourist information and maps on how to walk to the train station. It will take about 10-20 minutes to walk to the train station.

During the morning and afternoon there will be a shuttle bus (also functioning as a hop-on hop-off bus). The tickets for this bus can be bought by the bus or at the cottage. Shuttle = SEK 40, Hop on/off = SEK 100.

Stockholm. The train from Nynäshamn station to Stockholm will take about 1 h and 6 minutes., usually there is a train every half hour (From Nynäshamn: 20 and 50 minutes past every hour. From Stockholm Central station: 4 and 34 minutes past every hour.)

The national currency is the Swedish krona (SEK, plural kronor). 1 USD is about 5.91 SEK, 1 EUR is about 9.43 SEK and 1 GBP is about 12.28 SEK.

Automatic teller machines take major credit cards. Most stores, restaurants and bars accept all major credit cards, although in some cases there is a SEK 5 fee or a lowest purchase limit (between 50 - 100 SEK).

Swedish is the national language of Sweden, but you will find that people, especially those below the age of 70, also speak English very well - an estimated 89% of Swedes can speak English.

112 is the phone number to dial in case of fire, medical or criminal emergency.

There is a free Wi-Fi zone in the Fishing Harbour. You can get at code at the Tourist center.

Most shops, at least downtown, are open all week, even on Sundays.
