The customer service will need your request at least ONE MONTH ahead of your trip.

Bus

Flygbussarna – the bus from Arlanda airport is a popular and quite practical way to take you to the city. Depending on which bus station you get off, it takes approx. 40-50 min.

You can buy your tickets online before your trip, either on their website or on an app or when you arrive to Arlanda airport at one of the ticket machines.
The app is highly recommended since you will have all information in one place: ticket, departure time, location of the bus station and other traffic information.

  • Roundtrip: 209 SEK (20$/18€)

Tip:
If you stay at the Elite Palace hotel which is closest to the venue, you can get off at S:t Eriksplan. The hotel is about a 5 min. walk from the bus station.

Taxi

If you prefer to take a cab to Stockholm City it is utterly important to choose the right taxi company. Unfortunately, a lot of turists get scammed by non-reliable companies.

These are the companies that you can travel with:

  • Taxi Stockholm
  • Taxi Kurir
  • Sverige Taxi 020

Before leaving, it is highly recommended that you agree on the price with the driver. Ask them what the drive to Stockholm city will cost.

Anything above 1000 SEK (93$/86€) is a scam.

Other international taxi companies as Uber or Bolt are available and have to be booked as usual through their app.

A taxi ride from Arlanda to Stockholm city takes, depending on traffic 30-35 minutes.

The venue for Music & Arts Global 2025 is situated at Rörstrandsgatan 5, in the northwest part of Stockholm City.

The closest subway station is S:t Eriksplan. You can buy your tickets either on their website or at the subway station. There are both ticket machines and a personal customer service available at every station.
The sign for subway is T (tunnelbana).

If you will use the subway every day during your stay in Stockholm, you can buy a Travel card for 72hours that lets you travel as much as you like during that time.

Costs:

  • Travel card 72hours: 350 SEK (33$/30€)
  • Single ticket: 42 SEK (4$/3,5€)

The ticket also includes bus rides, tramways, commuter trains and commuter boats.
