Cheap flights to Stockholm
Cheap flights to Stockholm land you in the Swedish capital, a city spread across islands where water, old stone streets and a busy design and music scene sit side by side. Most visitors come for a long weekend of museums, coffee and walks along the quays, while others arrive on business. High summer is the busiest stretch, when the days stay light well into the night, and the winter holidays fill planes just as quickly.
Flights to Stockholm — where from
Airports — Stockholm
Stockholm is served by two airports. Arlanda, the main one, sits north of the city and connects to the centre by express train, commuter rail, coach and taxi. Skavsta International lies well to the south and handles much of the low-cost traffic; from there a coach link runs to the city centre, so allow extra time. Routes arrive from Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, Berlin, Prague, Paris, Madrid, Budapest, Bucharest and Chisinau, flown by Ryanair, Norwegian, Air Baltic, Eurowings, Vueling Airlines and Transavia France.
When to go
Stockholm runs on sharp seasons. High summer is the favourite time to visit: the days stay light late, the parks and waterfront fill up and boats head out into the archipelago. Winter is dark and cold, with snow in some years. Flights fill fastest in high summer and around the winter holidays, and Midsummer draws a crowd too, so book early if your dates are fixed. Late spring and early autumn are calmer and still good for walking.
