• Taxi from Arlanda Airport
Taxi takes approx. 30-40 minutes off rush hour and will take you directly to the ferry terminal. Its convenient and fairly cheap if you share with friends. Make sure you get a fixed price when dealing with the cab driver before you leave. A taxi trip from the airport to Stockholm (or reverse) should never exceed SEK 600 (≈€60). A taxi regular cab takes four passengers. With a bigger car/van (max 9 persons), the price is approx. SEK 850 (≈ €85).
If you chose to go by taxi at rush hour, anywhere between 08:00-10:00 or 16:00-18:00, make sure to add another 30 minutes to make it to your destination in time.

SKAVSTA AIRPORT and VÄSTERÅS AIRPORT
Two budget airline airports approx. 110 km south and west of Stockholm for airlines like Ryan Air, WizzAir etc. More far away from Stockholm, but with shorter time for checkin, baggage handling etc.

Only buses go from here. They cost SEK 180 (≈ €18) and take about 90 minutes to Stockholm. No youth or student discounts.

We do not recommend taxis from these airports unless you are in an extreme hurry. Taxis to Stockholm (and reverse) can be very expensive (up to SEK 2000 ≈ €200) and will quickly consume the money you saved by going with a budget airline.

The buses from/to Stockholm from these airports airport don’t go very often, so make sure that you have plenty of time on your hand.Here are links to the airport train and bus companies:

TAXI

Stockholm City <-> Viking Line ferry terminal
A taxi to the ferry terminal from central Stockholm costs about SEK 150-200 (€15-20). A good advice is to agree on a fixed price before you step into the cab. Unfortunately in Stockholm, there are cab drivers who might charge you way more than normal due to a deregulated market. The address of the ferry terminal is: VIKINGTERMINALEN, STADSGÅRDEN. There are several other ferry terminals in Stockholm so make sure you go to the right one.
