When do the shops at Arlanda Airport open?
Examples of shop hours at Arlanda and where Swedavia lists every shop's hours.
Short answer
Opening hours differ shop by shop at Arlanda: Stockholm Duty Free in Terminal 2 is open daily 05:00 to 21:30, and Pressbyrån there 05:15 to 21:00. In Terminal 5 the Marketplace Duty Free shop opens at 03:30 and closes with the last flight, while gate shops close between 20:30 and 22:00. Swedavia lists every shop per terminal on its website.
Why
- Swedavia lists Stockholm Duty Free in Terminal 2 as open daily 05:00–21:30 and the Terminal 5 gate shops as C40 05:00–22:00, F58 06:00–21:00, E1 05:00–20:30 and D11 05:00–21:30.

- Swedavia lists Kronans Pharmacy Shop in the Terminal 5 Marketplace as open daily 05:00–21:00, and says the shops and restaurants have irregular opening hours throughout the holidays.
Details
Pressbyrån in Terminal 5, before security, is listed as open 05:15–19:00 on weekdays and 07:00–17:00 at weekends. The SkyCity Duty Free shop is open Monday to Friday 10:00–16:00.

Tip
Check the shop's own page or Swedavia's shopping list for the terminal you fly from, because hours differ by terminal and by whether the shop is before or after security.
What may differ
Hours differ at weekends and on public holidays. Swedavia's holiday page lists reduced hours on days such as 24 December, when several shops close in the afternoon.
Common misconception
All shops at Arlanda open at the same time as security.
What actually happens
Swedavia lists different opening times for each shop: security opens at 03:45 in Terminal 5, but the Marketplace Duty Free opens at 03:30, and gate shops open at 05:00 or 06:00.
