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.
