Can you use the pendeltåg to get to Arlanda and what does it cost?
Journey time, the Arlanda station fee and how to pay it.
Short answer
Yes, SL commuter trains stop at Arlanda Central Station and take 38 minutes to Stockholm Central Station. Travellers aged 18 and over also pay a station fee of SEK 157 for getting on or off at Arlanda, unless the fee is included in the ticket price. An SL 75-minute single ticket for adults costs SEK 43.
Why
- Swedavia states that SL commuter trains to Stockholm and Uppsala stop at Arlanda Central Station, with 38 minutes to Stockholm Central.
- According to Swedavia, travellers who get on or off at Arlanda Central Station pay a station fee of SEK 157, payable at the SkyCity ticket gates if it is not included in the ticket price.
- SL lists the adult 75-minute single ticket at SEK 43 and the reduced price for pensioners, students and youths at SEK 26.
Details
UL describes the fee as the Arlanda Passage Fee for travellers aged 18 and over, covering one entry or exit at Arlanda Central within 120 minutes, and sells it in the UL app. The same trains continue to Uppsala in 18 minutes, see Uppsala. For a comparison with the Arlanda Express and the bus, see Arlanda and its alternatives, and for general prices see the cost of living in Sweden.
Tip
If you stay longer, look at the SL 30-day ticket for Arlanda, which sl.se lists at SEK 770 for adults during a temporary price reduction, and check whether the station fee is already included in your ticket.
What may differ
The fee applies from age 18, and the reduced SL fare for pensioners, students and youths (SEK 26 for a single ticket) differs from the adult fare of SEK 43. Prices for other ticket types are on sl.se.
Common misconception
An ordinary SL ticket is enough to take the commuter train to Arlanda.
What actually happens
