HOW TO REACH UPPSALA FROM ARLANDA

Swedish "kronor" (SEK) is the national currency in Sweden and Euros are not accepted. 10 Eur is about 95 SEK. You can (and actually need to) pay with a credit card for a bus or train ticket from the airport to Uppsala. The taxis take both credit cards and cash.

• By taxi: Taxis can be found outside the airport terminals. The journey takes about 30 minutes, and should cost about 500 SEK to Uppsala (fixed price). Will be the same price to the Ångström lab (where the meeting will be held) as to Hotel von Kraemer. There are many taxi companies represented at Arlanda and if they charge over 550 SEK it's an overprice, but sometimes there are no cheaper taxis around.
• By train: The trains go frequently from Arlanda train station to Uppsala Central station. They leave from Sky City, situated between Terminals 4 and 5. The journey takes about 20 minutes, and the ticket costs about 195 SEK to Uppsala. Once in Uppsala, a taxi from the train station to Hotel von Kraemer takes less than 10 min and it takes just a few minutes more to go to the Ångström lab. In both cases the taxi ride typically costs 120-150 SEK. A brisk walk from the Uppsala train station to the hotel takes about 20 min and from the train station to the Ångström lab about 30 min.
• By bus: The public transport company Upplands Lokaltrafik (UL) runs the airport coach route 801 between Arlanda and Uppsala Central train station (where the main bus station also is). Buses depart twice an hour between 3 a.m. and 12 midnight, and the journey to Uppsala takes about 40 minutes. It costs about 80 SEK. There are numerous ways in which tickets for the bus may be purchased.

- At Arlanda Visitor's Centre at Terminal 5, or at other information desks at Terminals 2 and 4

- Self-service ticket machines are available at the stops at Terminals 2, 4 and 5

- SMS ticket

- Payment by credit or debit card on board the coach; cash is not accepted.
