Stockholm Arlanda Airport is Sweden’s busiest airport and one of four that serves the country’s capital. So it is important that passengers flying from Stockholm with Qatar Airways ensure that their taxi driver takes them to the right airport. Sweden has a reputation for cool efficiency, and this ultra-modern airport is no exception. Plans have recently been approved to expand the airport to accommodate larger aircraft such as the Airbus 380, and with excellent facilities and a typical Scandinavian devotion to efficiency and quality, flying from Stockholm with Qatar Airways is a relaxing and pleasant experience.

Transportation and parking

There are several railway stations at the terminals. The SkyCity terminal operates long-distance trains to destinations such as Trondheim and Gothenburg, while local trains into Stockholm itself are frequent and efficient.

Multistorey garages have direct access to the terminals, and there are also open-air car parks near the terminals. Two additional car parks further away offer economy rates and are connected to the terminals by free shuttle buses.

Arriving at Stockholm Arlanda Airport

Passengers flying from Stockholm with Qatar Airways depart from Terminal 5. It has three piers connected to 31 aircraft parking stands with passenger bridges. There are also a number of remote aircraft parking positions serving this terminal, so it is important to check on arrival where your flight is departing from. Due to the size of the terminal it is also advisable to arrive at least two hours in advance. Be aware that during the winter there may be delays due to weather conditions, so again allow yourself extra time if travelling during the colder months

Tourist attractions

At the very centre of the city (quite literally) is the Alun-Alun Puputan square, with its huge, four-faced statue, which is supposed to defend the four cardinal points of the compass. It’s also an incredibly useful landmark if you get lost at any time.

To find out more about the history and culture of the island and its people a visit to the Bali Museum is highly recommended. It is spread across four pavilions, with the main pavilion housing a collection of ancient stone, bronze and wooden artefacts.

The southern pavilion has exhibitions of the country’s textiles, while the northern pavilion focuses on the history of Balinese performance art. The central pavilion is devoted to Balinese spirituality.

The Lapangan Puputan Margarana park is a large open space in the heart of the city. You can’t miss the huge Bajra Sandhi monument, which dominates the park.

Bali’s capital is also full of temples that are exquisitely decorated, including the Palace of Satria and the Royal Temples, and the beautiful Pura Maospahit, which is believed to date back to the 14th century.
