Terminals 4, 5 and SkyCity are a single building and are connected by a public and transit zone. All 4 security checks at these terminals lead to one common transit area. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from one end of Terminal 4 to the other end of Terminal 5.

Terminal 2 is a separate building about 200 metres from Terminal 4 and about 500 metres from Terminal 5. It is connected to the other terminals by a corridor through the railway station (public area only).

Between terminals 2/3 and 5 you can use the free Arlanda Express train. The section where you don't have to pay for transport is really only between Arlanda Norra and Arlanda Södra stations.
