The airport terminal is 7 km east of Västerås city centre and is accessible by local bus line 3 and long-distance buses direct to Stockholm.
Flygbussarna to Stockholm
Each scheduled arrival and departure is followed by buses from Vy Flygbussarna, which go directly to Stockholm city centre without changing buses. The line runs directly without a single stop to Stockholm C central station in the city centre.
Buses from central Stockholm always leave the airport 100 minutes before departure, which is more than enough time.
Buses always leave the airport 30 minutes after arrival, but if the plane is delayed, the bus will wait.
Tickets should ideally be purchased online at flygbussarna.se/vasteras (it is bought without entering a date and time and is valid for 3 months from purchase for any connection). You can also buy a ticket from the driver (card only).

Car rental
If you plan to go on a road-trip around Sweden, renting a car directly at the airport will be the ideal choice. Västerås Airport is close to the motorway connecting Stockholm with Örebro.
Due to very little competition from car rental companies in Västerås, prices are high and start at amounts starting from 400 eur per week.
