The Ytterby Mine

By car: From Stockholm: Take the E18 towards Norrtälje. Exit at exit 185 towards Vaxholm and drive for about 15 km. Follow the sign for Resarö. After about 2 km, you'll come to an ICA store. Turn right onto Ytterbyvägen road. Drive for about 1 km to Ytterbyvägen 65. You have arrived! Take the wooden stairs up to the mine.

By public transit: By bus: Take bus 670 from Tekniska högskolan in Stockholm. Get off at the Engarn bus stop and change to bus 680 or 682 and get off at the Ytterby bus stop. The journey takes about 4 minutes. From there, walk east along Ytterbyvägen road until you reach Ytterbyvägen 65, about 1 km. Here, you will find a steep wooden staircase on the left. Take the stairs up to the mine.

By boat: Ferries operate infrequently between Vaxholm to Ytterby gruva (the ferry stop closest to the mine); check with Waxholmsbolaget for current timetables. From the Ytterby gruva pier, turn left onto Ytterbyvägen road and walk about 150 meters. Take the wooden stairs up to the mine.
