Directions to Uppsala

Uppsala is served by the main train company, SJ, and local transportation, UL. You can easily buy tickets and find your way to the city via the mobile apps SJ and/or UL.

From the airport you can take either the train (companies UL (Uppsala public transport) or Mälartåg) or the bus 801, which is the cheapest option.
Bus tickets can be purchased by card payment directly on the bus or in the app UL.
Train tickets are purchased either in the app UL or SL (Stockholm public transport) or at one of the ticket machines.
The airport train station (Arlanda C) is located in Terminal 5 whereas the bus stop for line 801 is number 1 outside of Terminal 4, the farthest away on the right from the terminal entrance.
Both bus and train run about every thirty minutes and stop at Uppsala C (C = main station).
