Can I use my SL ticket (public transport pass) on the Arlanda Express?

No, SL tickets and travel cards are not valid on Arlanda Express, as it is a privately operated rail link. You must purchase a separate Arlanda Express ticket before boarding.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Standard Arlanda Express tickets are not tied to a specific departure time. They are valid for 90 days from the date of purchase, so you can hop on any available train after you land.

Is there an extra fee to enter the airport station?

Unlike the regular commuter trains (SL), which require a passage supplement fee, the cost of the Arlanda Express station access is already included in your ticket price.

Can I bring my pet on the Arlanda Express?

Yes, pets are allowed in the designated carriages (usually in the middle of the train). They must be on a leash or in a carrier and are not permitted to sit on the seats.

Are the Arlanda Express tickets refundable?

Yes, tickets are generally refundable during their 90-day validity period, provided they have not been activated or used. Activated return tickets are non-refundable.

Love the convenience of Hop On Hop Off stops, the professionalism of the drivers, and the cleanliness of the busses. No matter where we go, if HOHO service is available, we'll orient ourselves with the city by taking a HOHO bus first things.

The bus route gives a nice view of Stockholm and because we stayed there for two days, the 72-hour ticket was convenient. Drives past the important sights, museums and attractions.

What is Arlanda Express?

Arlanda Express is the premier high-speed rail link connecting Stockholm Arlanda Airport to the heart of the city at Stockholm Central Station. It is widely recognized as the fastest and most convenient transfer option, completing the journey in just 18 minutes without any intermediate stops. Running every 15 minutes during peak hours, it provides a seamless travel experience for both business and leisure visitors. It operates on 100% renewable electricity, offering an eco-friendly service that combines speed with sustainability, ensuring you avoid road congestion while enjoying modern onboard amenities like free high-speed Wi-Fi and spacious seating.

Why Arlanda Express is your best choice

Unmatched speed and efficiency

With a travel time of only 18 minutes, Arlanda Express is the fastest way to reach central Stockholm. It avoids all traffic jams on the E4 motorway, making it the most reliable choice for travelers with tight schedules or early morning flights.

Frequent and reliable departures

You never have to wait long, as trains depart every 15 minutes throughout the day. This high frequency eliminates the stress of missing a specific departure, allowing you to simply head to the platform after landing.

Seamless terminal access

The service features two dedicated airport stations: Arlanda South (serving Terminals 2, 3, and 4) and Arlanda North (serving Terminal 5). These stations are located directly beneath the arrival halls, accessible via a short elevator or escalator ride.

Premium onboard comfort

Every carriage is designed for the modern traveler, featuring ample luggage space, power sockets at every seat, and climate-controlled interiors. The quiet, smooth ride allows you to work or relax as you transition from the airport to the city.

Arlanda Express route & destinations

Arlanda North (Terminal 5)

This station serves the airport's largest terminal. It is located directly under Terminal 5, providing the quickest access for international arrivals. You can use Arlanda Express for free to travel between this station and Arlanda South for terminal transfers.

Arlanda South (Terminals 2, 3, & 4)

Arlanda South is conveniently located for passengers arriving at Terminals 2, 3, or 4. Like its northern counterpart, it is situated underground with direct lift access to the departure and arrival levels, ensuring you remain indoors and protected from the weather.

Stockholm Central Station

The train arrives at Platforms 1 and 2, which are dedicated solely to the Arlanda Express. From here, you are steps away from the T-Centralen metro hub, the Cityterminalen bus station, and many of Stockholm’s top-rated hotels and attractions.
