Being a railway hub in southern Norrland, Gävle can be reached by a variety of trains from all over Sweden. Stockholm is only 1h 20m away with the fast X2000 trains, continue north and you will reach Sundsvall. Direct InterCity services are available from Linköping, Norrköping and Ãstersund. Regional trains connect with Dalarna region and Ãrebro while frequent commuter trains head out towards most nearby towns. Night trains to and from Norrland also call at Gävle. Gävle Central station is a quick walk east of city center.
Cheaper coach services are also available from most coastal cities and towns in Norrland as well as Stockholm. Most of them depart from just outside the train station, however a few "express" buses only make a quick stop-over at Gävle Bro, a service area by the E4 highway.
Gävle is also a junction of several inter-country highways, e.g. E4, R67, R68, R76 and R80 so driving is easy.
