Arlanda Airport - Stockholm
Arlanda Airport (IATA: ARN; ICAO: ESSA) is the main international
airport (served by SAS, BA and many others) and is
situated 40 km (25 mi) north of the city.
There are several methods for travelling between Stockholm
and Arlanda.
* By taxi: Major taxi companies operate on a fixed price
basis between Arlanda and central Stockholm. Prices at the
taxi stands currently range from 450SEK (Transfer Taxi) to
520SEK. Generally, you can freely choose among the waiting
taxis or ask the operator for a specific company. A taxi ride
to central Stockholm takes approximately 40 minutes. With
some companies, you can get a lower price if you pre-book
your ride. With Airport Cab (+46 8 25 25 23) the cost is 430SEK
from Arlanda to Stockholm, 390SEK from Stockholm to Arlanda.
With Taxi Solna (+46 8 280 280) the cost is 445SEK from Arlanda
to Stockholm, 350SEK from Stockholm to Arlanda. See the Taxi
section below for some general advice on taxi travel in Stockholm.
* By dedicated rail: The Arlanda Express Train, which leaves
from the lower level (basement) of each terminal (Arlanda
South/Södra and Arlanda North/Norra), costs 240SEK one-way
(children, youth up to the age of 25, and ISIC card holders
120SEK, two adults 250SEK during weekends and holidays), but
gets you to the Central Station in 20 minutes and departs
every 15 minutes during the day. Tickets can be bought from
kiosks at the platform and online (50SEK extra is charged
when buying a ticket on board.
* By regular rail: Regular trains serve the airport through
a third station, Arlanda Central, located under Sky City between
terminal 4 and 5. Services include the Uppsala commuter rail
(Upptåget) which goes northwards to Uppsala and Tierp and
sometimes Gävle, but also Upplands Väsby, which is a connection
point to Stockholm suburban trains to central Stockholm. This
option takes 35 minutes and local transport tickets can be
used and bought at the entrance to the station, though you
have to pay a station access fee of 60 SEK (or 40 SEK for
people under the age of 20). There are also regional trains
on the Linköping - Stockholm - Gävle route, which costs 95
SEK (2nd class) to central Stockholm and takes 20 minutes,
like the Arlanda Express. This service operates only once
every other hour, but frankly, if you are on time there is
no reason whatsoever to take Arlanda Express, as the regional
train is much cheaper, though not as cheap as local transport.
Finally, long-distance trains from Stockholm operate to points
in central Sweden, like Sundsvall, mora or Östersund. It is
not, however, permitted to use these trains to travel from
the airport to central Stockholm.
