Stockholm Arlanda Airport is Sweden's largest airport, located 40 km north of Stockholm in the Uppland region. It handles over 26 million passengers per year and serves as the main hub for SAS Scandinavian Airlines.
A rental car from Arlanda is ideal for exploring the Swedish countryside beyond Stockholm. The university city of Uppsala is just 35 km north, the fairy-tale town of Sigtuna is 20 minutes away, and the beautiful archipelago east of Stockholm — with thousands of islands — has roads and ferries that reward exploration by car. Longer trips to Dalarna's red-painted villages, the glass-blowing studios of Smaland, and Gothenburg's west coast are all viable.
Swedish roads are among the best-maintained in Europe, though the vast distances and dark winter days require stamina. The E4 motorway — Sweden's main north-south artery — runs directly past the airport, connecting Stockholm to Uppsala (north) and Norrkoping/Linkoping (south).
The congestion charge (trangselskatt) applies on weekdays when passing toll points entering or leaving Stockholm's inner city. Charges range from SEK 11-45 (EUR 1-4) per passage. Rental companies bill you retrospectively.
