Stockholm Open

Travel

Stockholm is the capital of and the biggest city in Sweden. As such, is is the main hub of transportation in the country. I.e., it is easy coming here, whether by air, sea, train, bus, car or canoe.

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 240 SEK (460 SEK return ticket), and takes about 20 minutes. There are also not so fast, but cheaper, buses from Flygbussarna going the same way. They cost 110 SEK (190 SEK return ticket). A taxi takes about 30-40 minutes and costs about 450-500 SEK (ask for a fixed price!).

The other international airport, Bromma, is located much closer to the city center, and a taxi downtown would take about 10-15 minutes and cost about 150-250 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 V?ster?s 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.

Sea

If you're coming from the east (Finland, Balticum, Russia etc), the easiest and most comfortable way to get here is to travel on one of the party ferries crossing the Baltic Sea. There are ferries going to Stockholm from Turkku, Helsinki, Tallin, Riga, Klaipeda, Paldiski and St. Petersburg among others. Ferry operators include Birka Cruises, Viking Line and Tallink/Silja Line.

Bus

There are buses in regular traffic from most cities in Sweden and from major cities in the surrounding countries. Bus operators include Swebus Express, S?fflebussen (in Scandinavian languages) and Eurolines.
