6 Private Car Days in Scandinavia Worth Booking

1.Arlanda Airport Bus Transfer Departure

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 497 reviews · 47 minutes (approx.) · from $19Our pick

Ride a shared, air-conditioned Flygbussarna coach from Stockholm’s Cityterminalen to Arlanda Airport in about 47 minutes. Departures run day and night, often around every 10 minutes. You get WiFi, space for larger bags when available, and a mobile voucher, but check the QR code before boarding.

“We put our bags on the coach, which was the same one as dropped us off, same style, colour, same name of company that dropped us off but the barcode didn’t work. He could see it was a valid ticket but still said we couldn’t get on. Very stressful as we had to get a plane from the Airport on top of being in a foreign country. After a third conversation he could see it all matched & let us on. Not sure what we would’ve done if not.”

2.Arlanda Airport Bus Transfer Arrival

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 490 reviews · 47 minutes (approx.) · from $19

Take a one-way Flygbussarna coach from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to one of seven Stockholm stops, including Cityterminalen. The 47-minute ride runs 24/7, with air conditioning, WiFi, and mobile tickets. You find the bus yourself, so check your stop and voucher before leaving the terminal.

“Super easy to find and fast and relaxing way to get to the city. We got off at the Stockholm Central station and it was close to our hotel so it all worked out perfectly. Buses have wifi and outlets to charge your phones. Seats are comfortable. We flew from the US on a 12 hour flight so we didn't want to sit down right away, but the seats were super comfy.”

6.Briksdal Glacier and Loen Skylift Tour with Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · from $377

Join guide Andreas for a private day from Olden to Briksdal Glacier and Loen Skylift. Ride a Troll Car toward the ice, walk to the meltwater lake, enjoy a Norwegian picnic, and take in wide fjord and mountain views from Mount Hoven.

“This tour was beyond fabulous. Between Andreas as our guide and the scenery of the Briksdal glacier and atop the Loen Lift, our day with Andreas couldn’t have been better. He is very personable, easy to converse with and will provide you with so much more information than you would get on a group tour. Andreas also provided us with a nice lunch of some Norwegian food items and beer. The day flew by and we were sorry that it had to end. I can’t recommend this tour and guide enough.”
