Latest Stockholm hotel reviews
We chose the Arlanda express and found it to be a good choice for running on time and the quick journey! It was very clean, comfortable and in excellent condition, nothing like we have at home, so quite a different experience for us!
Fast, about 20mins to Stockholm, the train's run about every 20mins.
At the time we were there, there was a special on which we tried to get from the Ticket machine upstair's, and then at the Platform before we boarded. After lot's of trouble, I eventually asked a Swedish man who could speak English to help.
Yes, the special was available on our day, but he tried everything, and in the end said it must only be available on Swedish card, it wouldn't accept our credit card's. So, looks like Tourist's dipped out!
SO BEWARE......NO special for us, luckily, we could buy our ticket on the train, [we had no choice], and for that privelige, we had to pay an extra 50sek each per ticket, what a rip - off!
For all the important information please check the english website below.

If only all the cities in the world would have this type of transportation, it would be a lot better to travel around. The Arlanda Express leaves every 20 minutes and takes 20 minutes into Central train station....tickets can be bought at the information center, right in the arrivals hall. A taxi into the city would cost about 400 SEK about $65 US, and based on a meter, so if you find traffic, you'll pay thru the roof...... The Arlanda express cost 210 SEK about $30 US...indeed expensive, but all of Stockholm is very expensive !!!!!

I've been a lot of places, and the Arlanda Express ranks about top for getting from airport to city centre.
20 minutes @ 200km p-h. Only drawback is the pricetag - 460 SEK return in June 2010. About £40.

Quick and simple way to main train station in Stockholm.Trip took about 22 minutes.Train as plenty of luggage storage area where you are near your bags,and can watch that nobody bothers them.Train was clean and comfortable Finding train at airport was easy,there are many signs showing way to train station I think the station is under terminal 5(not 100% sure).Tickets are purchased at the yellow vending machines.Prices vary on different days and for one way or round trip.

For transportation between the Arlanda Airport and Stockholm City, the only way to go is the Arlanda Express train. Departures are frequent, the trip (as you will see advertised everywhere) will only take twenty minutes, and the cost is only 200 SEK. This makes the Arlanda Express more reliable, faster and cheaper than taking a taxi! Plus, the early morning trains from the city are specifically timed to make the earliest departing flights.
For more information and current timetables (in Swedish or English), visit the Arlanda Express website.

The Arlanda Express is an excellent service - which is comfortable, prompt and very clean.
The only difficultly I have encountered on several occasions is that we have requested to many ticketes from the automated ticket dispenser. There are a limit to the number of credit card paid tickets which can be bought.

This must be the easiest & fastest way to arrive right into the centre of Stockholm (Central Station). If you have money to spend get a taxi (expensive) if you have time to spare (40 min - more in rush hour) and want to wait around, get a bus - cheaper. The train, however, leaves from directly under the airport terminals, reached by escalator and is well sign posted ( my first trip to Arlanda/Stockholm and it was a breeze). A train leaves every 15 mins takes 20 mins to get to Central and reaches speeds of 206 km/hr - which you can view on the in coach display board.Make sure you buy a ticket at any of the automatic ticket machines - buying a ticket on the train will cost you 50 SEK more.
It costs 190 SEK one way, but if you don't like stress at airports this is the way to avoid it. There are no stops between Arlanda airport and Central Station so don't worry you can't get off too soon (or too late). Also there is an excellent automated english information system - it even told us we were slowing down because of other trains & we would shortly be at Central Station. The trains are immaculately clean & comfortable - a trait of the Swedish Public transport system in general. At Central Station there are taxis waiting (Taxi Stockholm & Taxi Kurir are the one's to use as you won't get ripped off) - Tip your driver.
Return journey is just as easy. I have had experience of public transport systems in various EU states but this is by far the most user friendly I have come across.
