Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

Landvetter is about 25 km from Gothenburg: the Flygbussarna covers the distance in 25-30 minutes and arrives at the Nils Ericson Terminalen, right in front of the Central Station. For those staying more than one night, the city is almost always worthwhile, with the historic centre and the riverside within reach by bus; sleeping next to the terminal makes sense mainly for one-night layovers or departures before 6, when the first Flygbussarna hasn't left yet.

At the airport in Landvetter

At the airport · The Scandic Landvetter is about 4 minutes on foot from the terminal, with a direct link that avoids any bus or taxi.

Best for: One-night layovers and departures before 6, when you want to stay a step from check-in.

Pros

Walk to check-in, with no reliance on the Flygbussarna timetable
Generally lower prices than an equivalent hotel in central Gothenburg

Cons

Only forests and runways around: for dinner you almost always stay at the hotel
For an evening in the city you still need the 25-30 minutes of the Flygbussarna, there and back

Drottningtorget and Central Station

City centre · The Flygbussarna takes 25-30 minutes for the 25 km to the Nils Ericson Terminalen, in front of Central Station.

Best for: Those who want the historic centre and the riverside, with the bus from Landvetter arriving right in front of Central Station.

Pros

Bus terminus a few minutes' walk from both hotels
Nordstan shopping centre and the Trädgårdsföreningen park within walking distance

Cons

An area tied to the station, busier and less quiet in the evening than residential neighbourhoods
Riverside hotels, such as those in Lindholmen, are still another tram ride away
