Port summary
Many Baltic itineraries that list 'Stockholm' actually berth at Nynäshamn, 60 km to the south. The commuter train (pendeltåg) from Nynäshamn station, about a 6-minute walk from the quay, reaches Stockholm City in roughly an hour and runs up to twice an hour. Stockholm is very doable independently, but budget the round-trip travel time and a generous return buffer.
