Terminals & Station Layout
Terminals 2, 4, and 5 are fully connected in a modernized central complex (Terminal 3 is decommissioned). The underground Arlanda South station serves Terminals 2/3/4, while Arlanda North station serves Terminal 5. SkyCity (between T4 and T5) houses Arlanda Central Station for SL commuter and SJ regional trains.
Taxi Rules & Scams to Avoid
Sweden has deregulated taxi pricing, meaning independent taxi drivers can legally charge whatever they post in the window. Always choose major reputable taxi fleets with fixed airport rates (Taxi Stockholm, Taxi Kurir, or Sverigetaxi ~690–750 SEK), and confirm the fixed price before getting in. Never use unbranded cabs.
Late-Night Arrivals (After Midnight)
The Arlanda Express stops running around 00:30 and restarts at 05:00. For arrivals landing after midnight, Flygbussarna coaches run through the night coordinated with late flight arrivals, and SL Night Bus 592/593 operates hourly directly to Stockholm Central Station.
