Hotels near Stockholm Skavsta Airport

Skavsta is about 108 km from Stockholm, near the small town of Nyköping, and lives almost entirely on low-cost flights: the Flygbussarna to Stockholm's City Terminal takes about 90 minutes, far more than the 18 of the Arlanda Express. For those with a short layover or a dawn flight, the capital is simply too far to be worth the trip: better to stay next to the terminal or head down to the real Nyköping, just 10-15 minutes away, which is not a mere airport outpost but a coastal town with its own historic centre.

Airport area

At the airport in Skavsta

The Aiden by Best Western Skavsta Airport is about 75 metres from the terminal, reached on foot in under two minutes.

Best for: Dawn low-cost flights and one-night layovers, when the 90-minute coach ride to Stockholm makes no sense.

Pros

Walk to check-in, handy for the earliest morning Ryanair flights when the Flygbussarna hasn't left yet
No risk of missing the transfer due to delays of the coach to Stockholm or Nyköping

Cons

Only runways and countryside around: for dinner you almost always stay at the hotel
For a real evening out you still need bus 515 to Nyköping, 10-15 minutes away

Recommended hotels

Nearby town

Nyköping

Bus 515 connects the terminal to central Nyköping in 10 minutes (bus station) or 15 (railway station), running about every 30 minutes from 4:20 to 00:30; by car 10-15 minutes are enough for the 7 km.

Best for: Those who want to sleep in a real town, with a historic centre by the sea, instead of staying isolated among the Skavsta runways.

Pros

Bus 515 is frequent and runs almost all day, not just around flight times
Nyköping's historic centre with the medieval castle and the seafront, unlike the airport's industrial zone alone

Cons

Still just a provincial town: nightlife is limited compared with Stockholm
For the real capital you still need the 90 minutes of the Flygbussarna, here just as from the airport

Recommended hotels
