Getting to Stockholm
Delegates are responsible for their travel arrangements and travel costs to and from Stockholm.
There are four international airports in Stockholm: Stockholm Arlanda, Bromma, Skavsta and Västerås. All airports are connected to the city centre by airport coaches and local transport options, however where possible we recommend Stockholm Arlanda Airport as is has a high-speed train service to the city centre.
Stockholm Arlanda Airport
Flygbussarna
Flygbussarna operates coaches every 10-15 mins from Stockholm Arlanda Airport. The destination stop is Stockholm C (Cityterminalen) and connects you to the Central Station and tube station T-Centralen allowing you to continue your journey by bus or train. Travel time between the airport and Cityterminalen is 47 mins.
Bromma, Skavsta and Västerås Airports
Taxi
Taxi services are located just outside the terminal at Bromma Airport and will take to you central Stockholm in 30 mins. Please note that taxi fares in Sweden aren't regulated so prices can vary significantly between companies. We recommend using well-known firms like Taxi Stockholm, Taxi 020 and Taxi Kurir.
Visas
Everyone entering Sweden must have a valid passport, and if you are a non-EU citizen you may need a visa. Visas in Sweden allow you to travel to and stay in the country for up to 90 days. Information about visas and how to obtain them can be found on the Government Offices of Sweden website via the link below.
THE and KTH can provide letters of invitation for registered delegates when requested, please email a photo or scan of your passport to events@timeshighereducation.com once you have registered. We cannot accept any responsibility for visa applications. Where a delegate is unable to attend because of failure to obtain a visa on time, the normal cancellation policy for the registration fee will apply.
