Stockholm & Around - Sweden - page 169

Most long-distance buses arrive at and depart from Cityterminalen ( GOOGLE MAP ;
www.cityterminalen.com ; 7am-6pm) , which is connected to Centralstationen. The main
counter sells tickets for several bus companies, including Flygbussarna (airport coaches).

CAR & MOTORCYCLE
The E4 motorway passes through the city, just west of the centre, on its way from Helsing-
borg to Haparanda. The E20 motorway from Stockholm to Göteborg via Örebro follows
the E4 as far as Södertälje. The E18 from Kapellskär to Oslo runs from east to west and
passes just north of central Stockholm.

TRAIN
Stockholm is the hub for national train services run by Sveriges Järnväg. (SJ;

Luggage can be stored in the lockers on the lower level of Central Station ( GOOGLE MAP

Getting Around

TO/FROM THE AIRPORT
The Arlanda Express train service from Centralstationen takes 20 minutes to reach Ar-
landa; trains run every 10 to 15 minutes from about 5am to 12.30am (less frequently after
9pm). In peak summer season (mid-June to August), two adults can travel together for
Skr280.
The same trip in a taxi costs around Skr520; agree on the fare first and don't use taxis
without a contact telephone number displayed. Taxi Stockholm is one reputable operator.
Airport Cab ( 08-25 25 25; www.airportcab.se ) goes from Stockholm to Arlanda for a flat
fee of Skr365 to Skr390, and in the opposite direction for Skr475.
A cheaper option is the Flygbuss ( www.flygbussarna.se ) service between Stockholm Ar-
landa and Cityterminalen. Buses (Skr119, 50 minutes, every 10 or 15 minutes) leave from
stop 11 in Terminal 5. Tickets can be purchased online, at Cityterminalen or at the Flyg-
buss self-service machine in Terminal 5.
