The Arlanda Express train is quite expensive (640 SEK RT for a single rider), but it's more convenient in terms of time table compared to the other train options which come less often. Also if you're flying from Terminal 5, you save some time from walking to the transit hub at Terminal 4. Essentially as soon as you exit Terminal 5 baggage claim, you walk directly to where it says Arlanda Express, and take the lift up and you're on your way to Central Station. If you're traveling with multiple people, make sure you buy your tickets together because they offer a multi passenger discount. I flew by myself so I didn't get to utilize this discount... next time! There's no assigned seating (it's open seating!), so just hop on and find a seat (and a place for your bags). It saves time from having to find a specific train car or assigned seat. At Central Station, Arlanda Express operates from Spår 1 & 2. There's quite a bit of gravel outside the station, so I recommend walking inside the station vs dragging it through the gravel outside. Time and distance is the same. I flew SAS, so when I returned to Arlanda, I took the escalators up to the side that said Departures. Follow the signs up, and you'll reach the check-in counter directly in front of the escalators for SAS. Fast Track are to the right of the escalator, for those who don't have any bags. Pretty convenient if I might say! All in all, it took me about 40-45 minutes to complete my journey from Central Station to the SAS check-in counters & Fast Track. So while I paid an arm and a leg for Arlanda Express, it was very convenient since I didn't have to walk too much to get to/from Stockholm. It was nice that at T5, it literally drops you off right at the SAS check in area. Given the high price point, I give it a solid 3.5 stars rounded down to 3 stars. If the price can be cheaper, I'd definitely give it a higher rating. read more

OK, like many these days, I am watching my money. And coming in from the Stockholm airport, especially if you have a monthly pass, it is cheaper to take the bus to Marsta and then the commuter train. But that takes longer and boy was it crowded yesterday. I had already contacted Arlanda Express because I will not be turning on my phone here. Why pay for all those telemarketers to annoy me. I'm older and accessing these QR codes scare me and I wanted to know if I could get a paper ticket. Yes but only here at the machines in Stockholm. Arlanda Express is quick to respond to your questions. This is the only way to go if you are jetlagged because of delayed and cancelled flights. There are 3 stops. Two at the airport and one at Central Station. Your other choice, the commuter train, can and yesterday was, packed like sardines. We couldn't even make it out the door and had to go to the next step and circle back. We are very familiar with Stockholm but you will find, for us non Swedish speakers, that the commuter train announcements and stations are worded slightly different than expected. Plus you have to walk to get it and walk and wait at the train station whereas Arlanda Express is right there AT the airport. It was COLD yesterday. On the return trip, I am spending the extra money for a more predictable trip. 18 minutes from Central Station. There are discounts for 2 or more paying normal price. Cheaper than a cab or ride share. And cheaper than an overnight stay at an airport hotel. But keep in mind that it only goes to Stockholm Central. That is fine if you are staying nearby. But even if you arent, Central Station has all the very good subway lines to transfer to. We were going to Sodermalm and I thought my initial commuter train was smart because once I got on it, it would take me to the part of town that I was staying, cheaper. At 24 hours awake, I have now learned to spend the extra few bucks on the faster less confusing option. read more

Arlanda Express - Paper tckets in all fare types are quickly available at kiosk for us old schoolers - Airport Shuttles Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

Do yourself a favor and buy your ticket online in advance. Tickets are not sold on board. There are also ticket machines on the platforms at the two Arlanda Express stops and at Central Station in Stockholm. Those are the only two stops; there are no stops in between. If you have an issue, I found them to be responsive. The website was confusing with regard to senior fares, so I wrote for clarification, and quickly received an answer. They changed the website to remove the confusion. I purchased a round-trip senior fare ticket online and printed out my ticket, which has a QR code. The train has two stops at the airport, one for terminals 2 and 3, and another stop for everything beyond at the airport. The stop for terminals 2 and 3 are a bit cave-like but stylish. Look up at the electronic board to see when the next train is coming to where you want to go. At Central Station, you can go through the train station, but there's also a separate entrance to the street. This is because the first train to Arlanda Airport is at 4:20 am, when Central Station is closed. This street entrance is open. There's also a lounge to wait in. There are racks in each car for your baggage. The seats are comfortable enough, and it's a short ride. From the airport to town was about 18 minutes, and about 20 minutes back. Staff come around shortly after departure to scan tickets. The man who came by on the way to town asked if I realized it was a special fare ticket. I said I knew, and that I recently turned 65. I was ready to show my passport, but he said that was okay. I thanked him for thinking I was younger. My international flight was at 6:30 am, so I was worried a train arriving at about 4:40 am would be too late, depending on how long the lines were. There was a long line for check-in, but I requested special services, so I was able to go to a dedicated line, and I got through security quickly. But keep in mind if you do have an early flight that the first train from Central Station is at 4:20 am. I experienced no delays but other reviewers have. Also, at the terminal 2 - 3 stop, I needed to use the elevator. The escalators were close by, but unfortunately the elevators were way way at the end of the platform. If you need to use the elevator because it's hard to walk, this doesn't help. read more

Absolutely amazing. Costs about 24 euro one way, cheaper for roundtrip. Worth every penny how simple, efficient and fast it is. Very friendly crew working on this train too. They DO check your tickets, so be sure to pay. If you want to experience 200 km/h in Europe but not pay 200 euro for another train ride, this is the ride. Sure, you can take the bus, metro, commuter train or taxi, but this gets you there in 18 minutes without stress. So fun. One of the highlights of my visit to Stockholm. read more

Not cheap, but not too expensive either. Many big cities have built their major airports well outside the city. London's Heathrow https://www.yelp.com/biz/heathrow-airport-hounslow-4?hrid=WERNmuPr5zs0TR5x0cBzGQ and Gatwick https://www.yelp.com/biz/gatwick-airport-gatwick?hrid=DtSqp5dchQTNXwh2DMBl3w, Paris' Charles de Gaulle https://www.yelp.com/biz/aéroport-de-paris-charles-de-gaulle-roissy-en-france-2?hrid=L2zT5w3Pn2dhYtlgCfXllQ, Taipei's Taoyuan https://www.yelp.com/biz/桃園機場-大園區?hrid=37vIn1W5NSHVQ46jMM9EtA, Tokyo's Narita https://www.yelp.com/biz/成田国際空港-成田市-5?hrid=5qxv_Lj7iRp_0v281tsrEA, Rome's Fiumicino https://www.yelp.com/biz/aeroporto-leonardo-da-vinci-fiumicino-5?hrid=3bpscSZIbdXZfxWGC8XPwQ are examples. Most of them have some sort of high speed rail to get into the city center. The Heathrow Express https://www.yelp.com/biz/heathrow-express-london?hrid=EfDF93WER6zuFytRpm3u7w is probably the best example. The Arlanda Express runs direct from the airport https://www.yelp.com/biz/stockholm-arlanda-flygplats-stockholm-arlanda?hrid=My-ulQiiDqvEKOkGfWr-PA (two stops at different terminals) to Stockholm's Centralstation where you can catch buses, trams, subway and all sorts of other rail connections to Sweden and elsewhere. Arlanda Express runs three times an hour and the ride is a smooth and easy 18 minutes from end to end. There is free wifi on board and there are power outlets. I think I even spotted a bar car! Seats are comfortable and there are luggage storage areas. Tickets can be purchased at kiosks in the airport and train station. At the airport, there was a staffed desk and they answered questions. Note that buying a ticket for your group is less expensive if you are traveling with others. [Review 18093 overall - 12 in Sweden - 1615 of 2022.] read more

This is probably the best and fastest way to get between the Arlanda Airport and main rail station. Less than 20 minutes and you're there while going almost 200 kmph! The express train is very clean, efficient and not to mention fast! read more

Excellent/speedy/clean/efficient means of transport to & from Arlanda Airport. 18 minutes. More spendy than non-express transport but you can boast of the high speed train going 200 km/hr or 124 mph! Sweden is very much into recycling and conserving so you can buy your tickets online (we didn't know so we used the machine). The conductors do go around during the trip to check tickets so be sure to have them available! read more

Arlanda Express - Airport Shuttles Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

Clean, quick, and frequent connection between Stockholm's airport and central train station. The train was not busy at all either of the two times we rode, so we had no trouble finding a seat. The train has wi-fi and connecting was a breeze. Overall a little pricey but very convenient read more

After spending a day in Stockholm after our cruise, we were ready to head home. Arlanda is some 35 km. north of city center. While taxi is an option, we thought we'd lower our carbon footprint, save about $50, and take public transportation, which, after careful research, was not only possible but easy: a one-stop transfer to the main train station, where the Express to Arlanda awaits. Talking to the many helpful staff on the platform was a good decision: he pointed out that there's a deep discount for two people riding together, and helped us with the ticket dispenser. He also pointed out that the usual stop where we would otherwise get off for Terminal 5 was closed - we'd have to walk from the one and only stop in Terminal 1 and walk, with a further useful suggestion that we should go to the cars at the FRONT of the train. The airport itself was a veritable zoo - not quite to Schiphol proportions is that frightening video that's gone viral, but bad enough that, not only were we unable to use the lounge, we almost missed our flight despite arriving more than 2 hours before flight time - but that's another story! read more

Arlanda Express - Ghost train? No - just great capacity; lots of people elsewhere on the train who didn't get advice from station attendant - Airport Shuttles Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

It's expensive ($30.00 US one way per person), but will get you from the Central Train Station in downtown Stockholm to the Airport in 18 minutes traveling at 150 to 200 MPH. The seat material is worn and needs repair--it's not the cleanest or newest, and the staff is not that friendly--but it's fast. It's super fast and convenient--that is what you are paying for. It will also take you from the Airport right into the center of downtown. read more

It's not the cheapest way to get between the airport and city center, but it sure is fast and regular! There are discounts for multiple people traveling together, as well as buying online at least a week in advance, so consider if either of those work. You don't buy for a specific train departure, they're valid all day, so no need to worry about guessing timing. The train design is very good, with wifi, power outlets at every seat, plenty of space, and luggage racks in each carriage. read more

A quick and reasonable way to get into Stockholm City in 20 mins. For 280 krona one way it's about half that of a taxi and takes about half the time as well. It's a nice way to travel and buying tickets is fairly simple and painless. You can get to it easily from Arlanda airport and if you are staying at hotels close to the central station then a short walk from the train will get you to your hotel. Definitely using this service again. It's quick convenient and reasonable. read more

Highly recommend this convenient service to and from Arlanda airport. The train runs frequently and quickly between the central station and the airport.

First time ever riding this Arlanda Express and yes it is super fast. I think it could be the fastest way to get to the airport actually. It takes only 20 mins to the airport and supposedly this is an environmental train. We road this on the way back and actually we didn't have to pay them money but showed them our Euro Rail pass which we had bought online in USA. But double check it when you do buy your Euro Pass and see if this is valid for the Arlanda Express if you are flying out of the airport. The inside of this train is so nice and very clean. They also have a luggage holder inside so you can leave your luggage and put it away. read more

Easiest and perfect way to get from the airport into Stockholm. Thanks for the recommendation Rosi R. Arriving at the airport after a 10 hour flight, and clearing customs, I was looking for the easiest and fastest way to the hotel. Rosi said to follow the signs to the Arlanda. The kiosk was right there. Pushed the English button, one ticket to main station, insert credit card and out pops one one way ticket to the station downtown. Followed the arrows and boarded the train. Plenty of room for large suitcases, comfortable seating, and just very clean in general. Sit back for about 25 minutes for a nonstop scenic ride into the city. Got off, walked out of the station and went left one block to the Terminus Hotel. Perfect, fast and easy. Thanks again Rosi. read more

Super quick and easy! We had a long layover so obviously I wasn't going to stick around the airport. We'd planned a day out in the city. The Arlanda Express was extremely convenient and easy to catch right from our terminal. We purchased tickets within minutes of de boarding our flight from LAX, stored our luggage and were on it and into the city within 20 minutes. Highly recommend. https://www.arlandaexpress.com/fares.aspx read more

It's green! It's clean! It's fast! It's simply the best way to get to downtown Stockholm from the airport. It took about twenty minutes and the ride was lovely. You can easily find the airport station steps away from baggage claim. Just follow the signs. I easily took two large tumi spinners, my backpack, and messenger bag down the escalator and onto the train. It was only around 15 dollars USD per person with the summer special. I love Sweden's commitment to this renewable energy powered zero carbon footprint transportation! (You can buy tickets at machines at baggage claim and they do take credit cards!) read more

Arlanda Express takes you from Arlanda Airport to Central Station in just 20 minutes - with speeds up to 200 km/ph this is a pretty fast train and other than at T5 and T2 (North and South) it doesn't stop until Central Stockholm where you can carry on your journey throughout Stockholm's great transport system by then (I would recommend buying a 72 day pass) The fee to travel is 295 SEK or 350 SEK for two people which is a pretty good deal - it works out slightly cheaper than getting a taxi with this offer, although if you're travelling as a group of 3+ it could come close! Do remember folks - kids travel free with an adult and they include 25 year-olds in on that too! Arlanda Express owns a monopoly on the transport to Arlanda airport because the train lines built going into Arlanda are fully owned by then, and even if you travel on another train such as with SL you have to pay a surcharge - so either way, they're making money. The surcharge is 152 SEK, which is just over £12 - if you're going to be going on a long flight, that's a pretty decent saving to arrive right beneath your airport terminal and save 18 minutes. - If you wanted to avoid that alltogether you could travel by bus with an SL ticket to avoid the extra fee altogether, but that means going through some bad neighbourhoods and takes longer again - so long in fact various GPS apps including Google, Citymapper and SL won't even provide a route for it! Inside the trains are pretty modern and clean - all stations are step-free from train to the platform and there is even a ramp if you require one, but you shouldn't need it due to the size of the gap being so small. Free wifi and AC with nice, modern trains every 15 minutes for me shows that even though they're contracted in with this monopoly for decades they still care and with a 97% punctuality rating, you know you'll get there in time without missing your flight which you can't always guarantee with SL or a taxi - Is that worth the extra few kronas that works out just £12? Yes - but that still doesn't change the fact I'd say the Arlanda Express is overpriced especially to the rest of the transport in the city. 4* based on providing ease of getting into the centre - but the prices need lowering for sure, rather than raising - which they seem to have done based on the prices mentioned in past reviews. read more

It's fast. About 30 minutes to central station and there's a train that comes every 15 minutes or so. Wi-fi included Nice seating, some with tables and with big windows for a view to and from the airport. 280 Kronar read more

Best and most efficient way to get from Arlanda airport to Central station in Stockholm. 18 minutes. We got on at Terminal 5 and it made one quick stop at another terminal (not sure which one) then direct to Central Station. Smooth ride. We are staying literally next door to Central Station. But if not, taxis are available right outside of station as well as buses or tram. Brilliant. Buy tickets online beforehand or buy tickets at kiosks in Arlanda Airport. For my sister and I - it was about $39. read more

Liked the high speed train to airport. Sorry to say activated ticket a day early - thought it said activate no more than 60 days before boarding. Actually, it says 60 minutes. Sent an email to customer service, stating problem. Anita on board made me buy 2d ticket, but said refund would be provided. She was right. Sent a 2d email with copy of receipt for 2d purchase. Cost was $35 for 2 people. Thankfully, not too crowded at 10:30 am on a Tuesday in August. Kudos to Anita and customer service for helping me out of a hole. read more

The one and only way to zip back and forth from Arlanda Airport to Central station. Purchase your tickets in the airport and it took less than 20 minutes from the airport at 205 km per hour. The trains are efficient, smooth, and beautiful. There is a reason why I am a big fan of Swedish design. Everything is simple, streamlined, and aerodynamic. I wish the seats in these trains existed in the US. Central Station is the hub for all connections. For a round trip ticket, it was 530 SEK. Oh, wait, that would never happen since slobs mess up Bart and Muni. Perfect ride, wish it was here in the US! read more

The train takes you from the airport to the central station. Trains seem to come every 13 min and the ride takes 18 minutes. Trains are new looking, very clean and comfortable. The ticket (approx $27) isn't a deal, but I assume cheaper and easier than Uber or taxi. There are multiple ticket machines in the airport and central station (attendants come though and check for tickets). Very convenient transportation option in Stockholm. read more

Dear yes, but so efficient and there's a special price thursday to sunday....if you read what it says the implication is that you have to travel on those days, no, anytime during that period. And it was the ticket inspector who told us about the days. So we could have saved a little more. So cheaper by far to get the app and book on line...or it's 100sek more to buy on the train Great service straight to the centre read more

You can take a cab for about 55-75 Dollars (depending on who and what size) or you can take the train. We opted for the train on the way to the city. Easy peasy. These trains are cake walk. Like a train ride should be. Don't let the free Wifi fool you though. Once you get off you won't likely be getting it back until you arrive at your final destination unless you have an international data plan, which can be purchased from your provider for short lengths of time. It seems all trains in the EU are planned, crafted, and utilized as the main form of transport next to bicycles and a good pair of walking shoes. Prices are fair considering the options. Coming back to the States and getting on the LIRR (if an option is even available) I can't shake the feeling of being mugged every time I buy a ticket. There is a high dollar fine if the inspector asks for your ticket and you cannot produce one. UPDATE: We took a cab to the airport to catch our departing flight, and I can now confidently say that the train is the way to go. It seems faster and safer, and is definitely less expensive. read more

Oh yes! If you intend to travel to Sweden, then this IS THE BEST AND MOST CONVENIENT, ECONOMIC WAY TO TRANSFER FROM ARLANDA AIRPORT TO THE CITY CENTRE!! There are many black cabs just outside of the arrival terminal. However, one of 'em will cost you....675 Kronas=70$ USD to get to the city centre!!! With the express train, it only cost around 200-300 Kronas=22-32$!! They depart every hour during the hours of day time(8:00--23:00) then about 1.5-2 hours night time I think.

The kiosk is steps from the International customs exit, right by the escalators to the train, quick and easy, and the train? fast (200 kph), clean (welcome to Sweden) and regular (seems to come every 20 minutes). What more could you ask for? Oh yeah! You're in the center of downtown Stockholm in 20 minutes. BOOM. (cabs are slower and will cost you about 2.3 x as much. So unless you have 4 people and time to spare, take the train). The bus has to deal with traffic as well. And it's not that much cheaper and far less convenient. read more

This is the fastest, most comfortable, and environmentally friendly way to get to Stockholm from the airport. You can purchase tickets at the machine outside the elevator to get down to the platform. If you are a noob tourist like me, you can purchase tickets at the information counter. If you're traveling with 2-4 people from Thursday to Sunday, you can purchase their non-rebookable discount tickets. 2 for 300 SEK, 3 for 400 SEK, or 4 for 500 SEK. It really saves you a lot of money. The train itself is really clean and spacious with nice comfy seats. There's even wifi and outlets to charge your phone.

Rude conductors, expensive train. This used to be the only way to travel, but fortunately there are more options. I recently was in Stockholm and normally this is a reasonable way to be transported. Most recently I found the conductors to be rigid and one even threw me off the train after I stepped onto it. I informed customer service who did nothing more than make excuses for its personnel's bad behavior. A Swedish person standing on the platform who was also not allowed to board apologized for his countryman's rude and unfriendly behavior. Stockholm is a lovely place but the Arlanda people have no interest in being welcoming, friendly, or kind. read more
