How the airport pickup works
Enter your flight number when you book and we follow the aircraft — early or late, the pickup moves with it at no extra cost. Your driver meets you inside the terminal once you have your luggage, and you pay in the car by card or cash. Then it is a direct run to Friends Arena.
The route from Arlanda to Friends Arena
E4 south, off at Solna into Arenastaden — motorway almost the entire way, with no city centre to cross.
The journey covers roughly 32 km and takes about 33 minutes in normal traffic. We check live traffic before setting off, so the arrival time you are given already accounts for the road at that hour.
Getting to Friends Arena without a car
Fine on the way there, difficult on the way back. The trains from Solna after a sold-out event run full for the best part of an hour, and that is exactly when you have somewhere to be.
About Friends Arena
Friends Arena seats around 50,000 for football and considerably more for concerts, and it sits next to the Mall of Scandinavia in Solna. After a big event the trains and the taxi rank are the two worst places to be; a car booked in advance for a named time, at a price agreed before you land, avoids both.
Friends Arena holds around 50,000 for football and more for concerts, with the Mall of Scandinavia next door and hotels in the same block. The whole district empties within twenty minutes of the final whistle, so where you agree to meet matters more than when.
Who travels this route
Concert and match crowds, visiting supporters flying in for a fixture, and touring crews working the arena.

Arlanda to Friends Arena — frequently asked questions
Where does the driver meet me at Arlanda?
Inside your terminal — 2, 4 or 5 — once you have your luggage. You get an SMS with the driver's name, number and the car's registration before you land.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Enter your flight number when you book. We track it, so the pickup moves with the aircraft and delays cost you nothing extra.
What does a taxi from Arlanda to Friends Arena cost, and how long does it take?
Roughly 32 km and about 33 minutes in normal traffic. Your fixed price appears in the form above as soon as you enter the address — the same price by day, night, weekend or holiday, paid in the car by card or cash.
Can you collect me straight after a concert?
Yes, and it is worth booking in advance. We agree a pickup point a short walk from the arena rather than at the main exit, because the roads immediately outside are closed or gridlocked while the crowd clears.
Do you take groups to an event and bring them back?
Yes. Book the outbound and the return in the same evening and both are fixed prices agreed beforehand — which is the opposite of trying to find a car at midnight with 50,000 other people.
