⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use only the official Swedavia taxi rank outside Terminal 5 or Terminal 2; unaffiliated drivers near Arlanda Central or SkyCity may charge much higher fares.
  • Before getting into any Stockholm taxi, check the yellow comparison-price label and confirm either a fixed price or the 825 kr airport zone cap to Stadsgården.
  • Flygbussarna and SL do not accept cash; bring a card or mobile payment so you are not caught out.
  • Ignore taxi touts inside the terminal offering 'special prices'; they are not contracted and may not have meters.
