Air

There are two international airports in Stockholm. Arlanda is the biggest, and it is located about 60 km north of the city. There is a high-speed train ("Arlandabanan") going to the city. It costs 190 SEK, and takes about 20 minutes. There are also not so fast, but cheaper, buses from Flygbussarna going the same way. They cost 90 SEK. A taxi takes about 30-40 minutes and costs about 400 SEK.

The other international airport, Bromma, is located much closer to the city center, and a taxi to the center would take about 10-15 minutes and cost about 150-200 SEK. Also, Flygbussarna have buses going from Bromma to the city center. Bromma is a quite small airport, and only short-distance flights from northern Europe arrives here.

Low-cost airlines have flights arriving at Västerås and Skavsta airports. These airports are more than 100 km away from Stockholm, but you can travel to Stockholm with the SJ trains or Flygbussarna buses.
