Arlanda ARN
Cheap flights from Stockholm Arlanda are the usual starting point for a trip to the Swedish capital. Arlanda, coded ARN, is one of two airports serving Stockholm, Sweden, and popular destinations from it include Krakow, Gdansk, Warsaw, Budapest, Paris, Amsterdam, Prague and Alicante, with onward connections through the carriers that fly here. The city's other airport, Skavsta International, covers a separate set of routes, so check your ticket before you plan the journey to the terminal.

Getting to the city
Arlanda sits outside Stockholm, so treat the transfer as part of the trip rather than an afterthought. Trains and express buses run between the airport and the city centre, and taxis and rental cars cover the rest; choose based on how much luggage you are carrying and what time you land. Leave a generous buffer on the way back, since security queues move in waves and a missed flight ruins the trip. If your booking names Skavsta International rather than Arlanda, plan a different journey entirely: the two airports serve the same city but are not interchangeable.
