Hotels near Växjö Kronoberg Airport

Växjö Airport, also called Småland Airport, is about 8-10 km from the centre: bus line 4 of Länstrafiken Kronoberg reaches Växjö Resecentrum station in 20-25 minutes, a taxi from the rank outside arrivals in 10-15. For most trips the city centre remains the most convenient base, compact and gathered around the two lakes; those travelling for trade fairs or conferences in the Samarkand area can instead save time by choosing a hotel halfway between the airport and the city.
