Stockholm-Arlanda Airport

Arlanda’s terminals are grouped around a central SkyCity complex that houses many passenger services between the landside and airside zones. Terminals serve different types of traffic (domestic vs international) and airlines; SkyCity provides a convenient interchange area with shops, cafés and direct hotel access. Inter‑terminal transfers are straightforward via internal walkways or shuttle services where needed.

Arlanda is served by the Arlanda Express, regional and commuter trains, airport coaches, taxis and car rental; travel time to Stockholm Central is typically 20-45 minutes depending on mode.

• Rail: Arlanda Express reaches Stockholm Central in about 20 minutes; expect higher fares than other rail options but a fast, frequent service.
• Commuter trains & buses: Cheaper commuter trains and the Flygbussarna coaches link Arlanda with the city in roughly 35-45 minutes.
• Taxis: Licensed taxis operate from dedicated ranks; fares to downtown Stockholm are higher than public transport but door‑to‑door.
• Driving: The airport is about 40-50 km from central Stockholm; allow appropriate time for road conditions.
