AIRPORT TO DOWNTOWN

Sweden is not an inexpensive country. You notice the steep prices the moment you step off the plane. A 35-minute (45 km) taxi ride from the airport to the city costs 395 kronor ($56) – it’s a flat rate. Fortunately, the Arlanda Express -- a high-speed (120 mph) train -- connects Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport with the city. Most individual travelers use it, because it’s cheaper and fast. Trains depart every 15 minutes; they cost 200 SEK ($28), and take only 20 minutes. There’s also an airport bus that departs every 10 minutes; it costs 95 SEK ($13.50), and takes 40 minutes.
