Get your driving license at Stockholm's driving schools
- Your guide to the city’s driver’s trainingTo get a driving license, you need both thorough theory (including the obligatory Risk Education part 1) and plenty of practice in the form of driving lessons to become confident in everything from parallel parking to highway driving. And remember, if you’re going to practice driving privately at home, you and your accompanying driver must first complete an introduction course (valid for 5 years).
Find the right driving school in Stockholm
Anyone who has driven a car in Stockholm, especially in rush hour traffic, knows that it can often be a challenge. Cars everywhere, lane changes, one-way streets, and closed roads are just a few examples of things to master. At the same time, you should find your way (often with the help of GPS). In those situations, you need to feel safe and secure behind the wheel. And the way to get there is a good traffic school.
Stockholm is full of driving schools for those who want to get their license. But with so many options, it’s not always easy to find the right driver’s training. So, to help you navigate the driving school jungle, we’ve put together a guide to driving schools in Stockholm that’ll prepare you for the test. You’ll need a valid learner’s permit – then it’s just to start learning. Good luck with your license and take it easy in the streets!
Södermalms Trafikskola
The most common approach is to book a first test lesson at a reduced price and then get advice on a further course that suits you. After this start, you can then choose between several different driving lesson packages with or without theory – either spread over a longer period or as an intensive course. In addition to driving lessons, Södermalms Trafikskola also offers theory courses such as Risk Education part 1 (“Riskettan”) and supervisor courses. In addition, they have driving license training in English.
Körkortsstudio
Driving school in a prime location
What about the school itself? This new player is really committed and ready to offer itself. The teaching is tailored to the needs of the student, including such challenges as learning and concentration difficulties. They welcome both those who are new to driving and those who are honing their skills for their driving test.
A bonus with Körkortsstudio is that the student discounts are available in the way of several affordable packages. For those who want to finish quickly, there is also a two-week intensive course. Other services worth mentioning are theory packages, books and risk training. In other words, you’ll find everything you need to get your driving off to a roaring start.

Stockholm City Trafikskola
You practice driving with well-trained and friendly driving instructors who can also teach in several languages if necessary. The vehicles used are new and environmentally classified with low fuel consumption, and great emphasis is placed on making you an environmentally aware driver. The range of courses includes everything you need, and all courses are available several times a week (including evenings and weekends). The fact that Stockholm City Trafikskola is also a gold member of STR – Sveriges Trafikutbildares Riksförbund – provides extra safety.

You can also come here if you already have a driving license but feel rusty or need help with parking or driving in the city, for example. The fact that Västermalms Trafikskola is popular is shown not least by the fact that they get many of their students through recommendations from former students.
