Arlanda to Stockholm: Prices, Times & How It Works

Distance, travel time, every transport option compared, and the real fixed prices — everything you need to plan your transfer.

The Quick Answer

Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) sits about 40 km (25 miles) north of central Stockholm. A direct car transfer takes roughly 35–45 minutes depending on traffic and time of day — a bit longer during rush hour (7:30–9:00 and 16:00–18:00 on weekdays), a bit quicker late at night. There's no single "best" way to make the trip; it depends on your group size, luggage, and how much you value door-to-door convenience over the lowest possible per-person cost.

Your Options, Compared

Option Typical Price Travel Time Door-to-Door?
Arlanda Express (train) ~295–320 kr per person ~18–20 min to Central Station No — station only
Flygbussarna (airport bus) ~119–139 kr per person ~40–50 min to Cityterminalen No — fixed stops
Metered street taxi Varies with traffic — often 900–3,000+ kr, and unlicensed or unmetered drivers at the airport can overcharge tourists significantly ~35–45 min Yes
Fixed-price private transfer (us) 739 kr (Standard), 790 kr (Premium), 1,090 kr (Van) — per vehicle, not per person ~35–45 min Yes

Train and bus prices are indicative and set by their own operators — check their current fares before you travel. Our fixed prices are what we actually charge, no surprises.

The train and bus prices above are per person — so for a family of four, the Arlanda Express alone can cost more than a fixed-price private transfer for the whole group, with door-to-door comfort and no lugging bags through a station.

Which Terminal Will I Land At?

Arlanda has four terminals. International flights (including most non-Schengen arrivals) typically use Terminal 5, while domestic and many European flights use Terminal 2 or Terminal 4. Terminal 3 handles some international arrivals as well. Whichever terminal you land at, share your flight number when booking and your driver will track it and meet you in the correct arrivals hall — you don't need to work out the terminal yourself.
