Stockholm-Arlanda International Airport (ARN)

Overview

Generally known as Arlanda Airport, the Stockholm Arlanda Airport is one of the largest and busiest air hubs in Sweden. It is located just north of Stockholm, close to a town called Marsta, and visitors can travel to and from the airport to Stockholm, via an express train or a more cost-effective shuttle service called Flygbussarna.

There are four terminals at Arlanda, two of which serve international flights and the other two serve domestic flights. SkyCity connects the domestic and international terminals and also houses a number of restaurants and retail outlets.

Arlanda is incredibly user-friendly and well equipped with efficient and helpful staff. It is also well connected with other airports in the region and has a range of public transport options for onward travel within Sweden.
