Transfer from the airport
There are several ways to get to the city centre from Arlanda
airport. The cheapest is with the Airport
Coaches, Flygbussarna.
They leave every 5-10 mins all day, and will take you to the City
Terminal in downtown Stockholm. You may then continue via public
transport or taxi. A one-way ticket costs 110 SEK, and the travel time
from the airport to the City Terminal is approximately 40 minutes.
Another option is the airport train, Arlanda Express. This will take you to the Central station,
where you can connect to public transport or take a taxi. The
airport train is the fastest way to get into town, but is more expensive.
A one-way ticket costs 240 SEK, and the travel time
is approximately 20 minutes.
It is also possible to take a taxi directly at Arlanda airport. Be advised
that the airport is located some distance from the city, making this the
most expensive option. Should you choose to take a taxi, always ask
for a fixed price, available from the major taxi companies (Taxi 020,
Taxi Kurir, and Taxi Stockholm). The price is then around 450-500 SEK.
Public transport
Public transport in Stockholm works quite well, and is often the best
and easiest way to get around. A one-way trip within central Stockholm
is 40 SEK. Note that tickets cannot be purchased when getting on the bus;
buying tickets in the metro is possible. It is also possible to buy
pre-paid tickets (10 trips for 180 SEK) and passes for unlimited travel.
The passes are valid for 1 (100 SEK), 3 (200 SEK), or 7 (260 SEK) days.
The public transport system encompasses both buses and underground, as well
as commuter trains. More information on the system in general and
different ticket options can be found
here.
Getting to AlbaNova
The easiest way to get to AlbaNova is by public transport. Several
bus lines as well as the metro ('T-bana') have stops within walking
distance.
By bus
Bus lines 43 and 44 are the most convenient, sharing a bus stop
('Ruddammen', the terminus of each route) just outside AlbaNova.
By metro
The closest underground station is 'Tekniska högskolan', on the
red line. Take the exit to 'Körsbärsvägen', approximately 10-15 walking
distance from AlbaNova. About 150 meters from the exit is a bus stop for
lines 43 and 44, which go to AlbaNova. A map showing the area between
the bus stop and AlbaNova is available here.
From Hotel Arcadia
Walk to the bus stop across Körsbärsvägen. Take buses 43 or 44
to Ruddammen (both bus lines end here). Walk a block in the direction
of the bus, turn right and you will see the main building at AlbaNova.
Hotel Arcadia is within walking distance (10-15 mins.) of AlbaNova.
A map showing the hotel, bus stop and AlbaNova is available
here.
Car and Taxi
It can be quite difficult to find suitable parking in central Stockholm,
and there is no guest parking at AlbaNova. We therefore do not advise
renting a car.
Taxis can be ordered to pick up/drop off at your hotel and the
main entrance at AlbaNova (Roslagstullsbacken 21). There is no
regulation on price, but transport within the city limits is
usually not more than 200 SEK.
