The Experience

You land at Arlanda, and the first thing everyone does is stand in the taxi queue or fumble with their phone trying to book a ride. The Arlanda Express train leaves that whole mess behind. It runs straight from the airport terminals to Stockholm Central Station in about twenty minutes, no stops, no detours, no driver negotiating the route with you at a red light. The train operates from 4:20 in the morning until just after midnight, with departures up to five times an hour, so you're not timing your arrival around a schedule — the schedule is already there when you land.

The train itself is clean and modern, which sounds like a small thing until you've been on a long flight and just want to sit somewhere that doesn't smell like recycled air and other people's luggage. There's WiFi on board, power outlets at every seat, and a toilet if you need it. If you're traveling with a lot of luggage — the kind that doesn't fit in an overhead bin — there's space for it. Wheelchairs and bicycles fit too. You can even bring a pet as long as it's in a carrier that doesn't bother other passengers. So yeah, it's a train, but it's built for the actual mess of traveling, not the fantasy version.

The real advantage is that you don't have to think about it. No negotiating with a driver about the fare, no sitting in traffic on the E4, no wondering if you're being taken the long way. You buy a ticket — one-way or round-trip, depending on whether you're coming back through the airport — and you're done. The train gets you to Central Station, which is in the middle of the city, so you're already where you need to be. If you're heading back to the airport, a round-trip ticket saves you money and means you don't have to buy two separate fares.
