Travel

  • Plane:

Arlanda Airport, main airport in Sweden, between Uppsala & Stockholm

  • Train:

SL’s commuter trains to Stockholm and Uppsala stop at Arlanda Central Station, located in SkyCity between terminals 4 and 5. (Note that if you go from Arlanda to Uppsala, not Stockholm, do not head to the Arlanda Express or do not buy any tickets for it while waiting for your check-in luggage. Arlanda Express is for Stockholm.) 

Both SL (commuter) and SJ (long-distance trains) are options, but you need to buy the right ticket beforehand, and the system is generally not optimally integrated. There is a ticket office to help with this at the information desk in the arrival hall in terminal 5 and Arlanda Central Station.

  • Bus:

Bus 801 takes ~45 minutes. It runs every 30 minutes during daytime and in the nighttime as well. The bus starts from the C1 bus stop at the Uppsala Central Station. Buy a special Arlanda airport bus ticket (117 SEK). Bus tickets can be purchased on the bus, at a yellow UL ticket machine, or via a mobile app (please note that only card payment is accepted on board ). For more information, please visit UL’s website.

 
  • Taxi:
Taxis are normally available outside the terminals, but it is best to be preordered via the websites or by phone. The cost between Arlanda Airport and Uppsala is ~700 SEK. Adding to the order the flight nr and name, the driver would meet you at the arrival hall.
