Arlanda Airport: Directions

By taxi from Arlanda

Taking a taxi from Arlanda to anywhere in central Stockholm will cost approximately 450-500 SEK. Make sure to ask for the fixed Arlanda-Stockholm price! (Taking a taxi between any destinations within central Stockholm will cost approximately 150-200 SEK.) Taxis accept all major credit cards. The address of the hotel is Körsbärsvägen 1.

Some taxi companies are:

  • Stockholm Transfer (+46) (0)20-350000
  • Taxi Stockholm: (+46) (0)8-150000
  • Taxi 020: (+46) (0)20-202020
  • TaxiKurir: (+46) (0)8-300000.

If you want to go by public transport there are two options to go from Arlanda Airport to the city center: by bus or by train, both arriving at the same location. From there you continue by subway to the hotel.

(A) By Airport Coach to City Center:
Arlanda → Cityterminalen bus terminal → T-Centralen subway station

Going by bus to Stockholm takes about one hour. Tickets for the Airport coaches (Flygbussarna) cost roughly 100 SEK and can either be bought online from their website: www.flygbussarna.se or on board with any major credit card. Note that cash is not accepted on board the buses!

  • Take the Airport Bus from Arlanda to the final stop Stockholm City (Cityterminalen), which is just next to the Stockholm Central Station.
  • When you enter the terminal hall from the bus stop, turn right, and follow signs "Tunnelbana/Metro" and the blue "T" logo.

  • You exit the bus terminal hall through a door labelled "Central Station", to your left 20 m before the main exit.

  • Take the escalator down and turn right (to the left are the platforms for the Arlanda airport train).
  • At the Y crossing 50 m ahead, keep right and pass the food courts and small shops.
  • Just before entering the main waiting hall of the Central station you need to take an escalator downstairs. Just keep following the "Tunnelbana/Metro" signs.

  • At the bottom of the escalator you find storage boxes and an SL Center where you can buy tickets for the subway and city buses.
  • Pass the SL Center and turn left. After 100 m you will be in the ticket hall of the subway station T-Centralen, where you also can buy bus and train tickets.
  • Continue with (C) below.

(B) By Airport Train to City Center:
Arlanda → Stockholm Central train station → T-Centralen subway station

By Arlanda Express train (see www.arlandaexpress.com) it takes only 20 minutes but costs three times as much as the bus fare, roughly 280 SEK.

  • Take the train from Arlanda to Stockholm Central.
  • At the end of the platform, follow signs "Tunnelbana/Metro" and the blue "T" logo.

  • At the Y crossing 50 m ahead from the end of the platform, keep right and pass the food courts and small shops.
  • Just before entering the main waiting hall of the Central station you need to take an escalator downstairs. Just keep following the "Tunnelbana/Metro" signs.

  • At the bottom of the escalator you find storage boxes and an SL Center where you can buy tickets for the subway and city buses.
  • Pass the SL Center and turn left. After 100 m you will be in the ticket hall of the subway station T-Centralen, where you also can buy bus and train tickets.
  • Continue with (C) below.

(C) Continue by Subway to the Hotel:
T-Centralen subway station → Tekniska Högskolan subway station

For information about the Stockholm public transport system (SL), fares and an online journey planner, visit  sl.se/en. Tickets are valid on buses, subways and commuter trains, as well as some ferries.

  • After passing the ticket gates, take an escalator to the platform for the red line in direction Ropsten/Mörby Centrum
  • Take any train going in the direction Mörby Centrum, and get off at Tekniska Högskolan (three stops).
  • Take the exit Körsbärsvägen, and the staircase to your right after exiting the ticket gates.
  • Follow the sidewalk 100 m slightly uphill to a yellow-brick building across the street. This is Hotel Arcadia (see map below).

Conference: Directions

Venue: KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
Map coordinates (and link to online map):  59.3498156° N,   18.0706841° E

The conference is on the KTH campus area, across a commuter train railway track, approximately 15 minutes walk from Hotel Arcadia. If you think the shorter route across a bridge over the tracks described below looks difficult to follow you can take a longer but easier to find route along Valhallavägen, rounding the end station of the train and then continuing along Drottning Kristinas väg (see map). This second route is the closest one if you go to the conference venue directly from the subway (station "Tekniska Högskolan", exit with the same name).

  • When you leave Hotel Arcadia onto Körsbärsvägen, turn left and continue slightly uphill 100 m and then follow Ruddammsvägen right at the next crossing.
  • When the street bends left again, turn right and walk across the footbridge over the railway tracks.
  • After the bridge follow the footpath between two sets of yellow brick buildings until you reach Drottning Kristinas väg.
  • Cross the street and follow it to the right for 200 m, past a red brick building until you reach a small triangular park.
  • Beyond the park is an impressive pale yellow building with a small tower. Walk across the park and enter the building in the main entrance in the main building to the left of the courtyard, on Brinellvägen 8.
  • The conference room Kollegiesalen is on the entrance floor, immediately to the left inside the entrance door. A bit further in is a reception, in case you have questions.
