The guide to Arlanda's cafés and restaurants

The guide to Arlanda's cafés and restaurants

Sweden's largest airport, Arlanda, transports more than 26 million passengers to various destinations around the world every year. Around 230 000 take-offs and landings are carried out over the course of a year, which means that the airport's cafés and restaurants are continuously serving a steady stream of hungry travellers. Stockholm Arlanda Airport has four terminals, as well as SkyCity, and the selection of places to eat varies depending on which terminal you're travelling from, but you'll find the biggest range in Terminal 5, the international terminal. We've rounded up the various cafés and restaurants at Arlanda, divided up by terminal, so you know where to go for something to eat or a takeaway coffee before departure.
