Taxi

Late nights in the city center, you might be offered a taxi ride with a 'Black Taxi'. Most of the time this will get you home for roughly the same cost as ordinary taxis--just don't ask for a receipt. However, some unpleasant episodes have been known to happen to passengers, so try this at your own risk, and preferably not alone.

It's often possible to negotiate a price with a licensed taxi driver, too, before entering the cab. In this case, it's implied that you won't receive a receipt, and the driver won't be paying any taxes or even his employer. The money (payed in cash) will go straight into the driver's pocket, which means that you can often get a cheaper ride. If you don't know the area well enough to estimate the regular by-the-meter price you might get ripped off, though.

Do

Walk around, take a drink at Gondolen with an excellent view of the old town. Stockholm is a very easy city to enjoy by foot with no steep streets. Particularly in the summer months (which can be a very short time), the city shows itself at its best.

Go swimming. You are never far from water in Stockholm. The area of Långholmen has many nice spots for swimming.

Stay informed. You can find internet cafés and terminals at many locations with prices between 15 and 20 SEK for an hour.

Watch a movie. There are many Cinemas in Stockholm. Most movies aren't dubbed but subtitled, so if your English is good enough this is a good opportunity to spend some time. Go nightclubbing and enjoy the fun of Swedish pop music.
