התניידות

  Arlanda Express is the fast airport train; the SL commuter train (pendeltåg) from Arlanda C is slower but much cheaper (an airport fee applies).

• מונית

  Licensed taxis (Taxi Stockholm, Taxi Kurir, Sverigetaxi)

  Taxi prices are not regulated: each company sets its own. Check the yellow price label on the rear side window before getting in and compare the 'jämförpris' (reference price for a 10 km, 15 minute ride). Use big companies or the official airport fixed fares.

כסף ומזומן

מטבע: SEK · Swedish krona

One of the most cashless countries in the world. Many shops, cafes, buses and even some banks do not accept cash at all. Bring a contactless card or phone pay. Locals use Swish, which needs a Swedish bank account. If you need cash, use Forex or similar exchange offices rather than airport booths. Euros are not accepted.
