Sigtuna

Hello everyone!

Me and my girlfriend are visiting Stockholm in late August for 7 days, for holidays.

I have a couple of questions regarding the city's safety and I would be really grateful if you could help me out :

a) How safe is the Stockholm T-Bana (Stockholm Metro) ? Is it safe even at night, e.g. 11.00 pm ?

b) Are there any areas in Stockholm that we should avoid, when we look for a place to stay?

c) What do you think of the Riksby district? From what I've seen it's a bit far from the city center, but we have found a rather cheap apartment for rent there, close to a Metro station - but I don't know much about that district, so I could really use any info regarding its safety of if its distance from the center wouldn't be much of a hassle to us.

I would really like to thank you in advance for your assistance!

I need somewhere, not too far from the station (2km, preferably walking distance).
I had located Weiner Konditoriet but I am concerned that with their remodelling to Weiner Cafeet that they are dropping stuff like massive seafood sandwhich-cum-gateaux creations.
I have mailed them but no response. Does anyone know if
a) Weiner are just having makeover, the stuff is the same and I will be able to call them a few days before and order 3 or 4 of these
b) somewhere else. We get in at 06:30 and leave 08:21

What is the distance from and transportation possibilities from Freeport (port) to downtown Stockholm?

Hi,
Does it make sense to make a day trip to Fjäderholmarna?
It's stromma.se/en/Skargard/Strom...
They say there is a beach - anyone been there? What else is there to see? I mean, I read the discription - but has anyone been there and can say that's really worth it?

Or is is better to take their archipelago cruise?

Has anyone taken lunch / brunch cruises?

I am planning some sort of a cruise, - don't know which - maybe two, it's good to spare yur feet

Hi!
I have an SL Access Card from my previous Stockholm visit – a pretty old one, from January 2011.
How do I arrange sort of Pay-as-you-go? I do not know when I will need to take a bus, but having to run and find a ticket booth somewhere doesn’t look very encouraging.
Is there any wiser way?
Thanks in advance!

Is it true that one better had a repellent going on an archipelago cruise, or any cruise at all?

PS
Don't see much activity about my questions; or are they too difficult :) ?

When in Stockholm, what is the cheapest food to be found? I am a student, visiting for 8 days and I don't have a lot of dough to drop on meals!
