Given the relatively short journey, a small suitcase or backpack should suffice. Make sure to pack essentials, such as snacks and water, especially if you're traveling by bus, as stops may be limited.

The journey from Stockholm to Nyköping is entirely within Sweden, so you won't face any border crossing issues. However, carry your ID or passport, especially if traveling by bus, as some companies may require it for identification.
