Stockholm Arlanda Airport Terminal 2 Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Stockholm-Arlanda Airport Terminal 2 is a compact, multi-level “Arlanda South” terminal with departures above, arrivals at the public curb, and a split airside layout that funnels Terminal 5 transfers to a single apron-level bus node. Even though it appears close on the airport diagram, it operates as an island within Stockholm’s primary airport complex, with no airside walking link to Terminal 5. Your navigation success depends on finding the correct level changes, forced corridors, and the exact transfer-bus interface.
Map Table
| Zone | Connection | Walk Time |
|---|---|---|
| Departures hall (Level 3) | Check-in desks, kiosks | Short |
| Security entrance (Departures level) | Boarding-pass e-gates, screening lanes | Short |
| Airside transit (Level 4) | Lounges, retail, gate access | Short–medium |
| Apron-level transfer node | Gate 61C, bus to Terminal 5 | Medium |
Stockholm-Arlanda Airport Terminal 2 Map Strategy
- Treat Terminal 2 as airside-isolated from Terminal 5: follow “Transfer to Terminal 5” signs down to the apron-level Gate 61C node and plan around the on-demand transfer-bus step rather than assuming any airside walk is possible.
- Anchor your timing to the security access-control point, not the visible queue: the “too-early” rejection happens at the boarding-pass e-gates at the security entrance, before you ever reach the lanes.
- Exit arrivals with a curbside plan: use the main Arrivals (Level 2) doors to reach the official taxi queue at the rank, and ignore unsolicited curbside approaches.
- Navigate buses by stop name and bay logic: outside Arrivals, locate the SL stop signed “Arlanda terminal 2 och 3,” then match the correct stand/bay for your route before you commit to the curb line.

Terminal 2 continues operating as the Arlanda South international terminal with a strict, layered flow: landside arrivals at Level 2, check-in at Level 3, and the main post-security transit area at Level 4. The defining constraint for 2026 remains the same: Terminal 5 is not reachable on foot airside, so airside connections rely on the Gate 61C transfer-bus interface, while early security entry is controlled at automated boarding-pass gates.

What is the exact airside pickup point (gate/area name) in Terminal 2 for the on-demand transfer bus to Terminal 5?
Gate 61C is the exact airside pickup point in Stockholm-Arlanda Airport Terminal 2 for the on-demand transfer bus to Terminal 5. It functions as a dedicated bus interface rather than a normal boarding gate, and it sits at apron/ground level below the main post-security area.
From the Terminal 2 airside transit area, follow signs for “Transfer to Terminal 5,” then take the stairs/elevator down to the pier’s apron-level corridor where Gate 61C is signed. At Gate 61C, use the call button/bell to summon the bus if it isn’t already waiting, then stay at that gate area until boarding starts.
What is the exact walking distance (meters) from Terminal 2 security exit to the Terminal 2 transfer-bus pickup point?
Walking is typically about 150 meters from the Terminal 2 security exit to the Terminal 5 transfer-bus pickup point at Gate 61C. The total shifts a bit depending on which lane you exit security into and whether you take the nearest stairs or elevator down to the apron-level corridor.
| Segment (Terminal 2) | Anchor point to anchor point | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Security exit to main airside corridor | End of screening area → duty-free/retail threshold | ~40–70 m |
| Corridor to level change | Duty-free/retail threshold → “Transfer to Terminal 5” stairs/elevator | ~40–60 m |
| Down to Gate 61C | Bottom of stairs/elevator (apron level) → Gate 61C sign | ~40–80 m |
Which specific Arrivals exit/door at Terminal 2 leads to the official taxi rank (licensed queue), not curbside solicitors?
The official taxi rank is reached through the main Arrivals Hall exit doors on Level 2 at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport Terminal 2. These are the primary doors you use after clearing Customs from baggage reclaim, and they open directly onto the managed taxi-queue curb.
After you exit baggage reclaim and pass the Customs point, stay on the main Arrivals flow to the central “Exit/Utgång” doors rather than side doors toward other bus/coach areas. Outside, the licensed taxi queue is immediately at the rank; join the organized line and use the first feeder lane closest to the doors. Ignore anyone approaching you inside the hall or at the curb offering a ride—those are not the official queue.
Where exactly is the security access-control “too-early” checkpoint in Terminal 2 (entrance/level), where passengers get turned back if they arrive before the allowed window?
The “too-early” checkpoint is the automated boarding-pass e-gates at the entrance to the Terminal 2 security checkpoint on the Departures level. These are the access-control gates you must pass through before you can enter the screening lanes, and they will reject entry if you’re outside the allowed time window.
In practice, you encounter this control after check-in on the main Departures hall level: follow signs toward Security, then stop at the row of boarding-pass scanners/automatic gates immediately before the queueing area begins. If the system shows “Too early” or refuses the scan, you cannot even join the security line and must wait landside until your entry window opens.
What is the exact walking distance (meters) for the shortest landside route from Terminal 2 departures to the Terminal 5 security entrance (via SkyCity/corridors)?
Walking is about 990 meters on the shortest landside indoor route from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport Terminal 2 Departures to the Terminal 5 security entrance via SkyCity. This is the fastest pure-walking line if you stay inside the terminal corridors and follow SkyCity all the way to Terminal 5 Departures.
| Step | Landmark-to-landmark route | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Terminal 2 Departures hall → corridor toward Terminal 3 connection | ~150–250 m |
| 2 | Terminal 3 connector → SkyCity central concourse | ~200–300 m |
| 3 | Through SkyCity (shops/hotel zone) → Terminal 5 Departures entrance area | ~450–550 m |
| 4 | Terminal 5 entrance area → security entrance gates | ~80–120 m |
Which curbside stop/bay outside Terminal 2 is used by SL bus 583 outbound (and which Arrivals exit is closest)?
SL bus 583 outbound uses Stand 1 (Bay 1) at the stop signed “Arlanda terminal 2 och 3” outside Stockholm-Arlanda Airport Terminal 2. It is a curbside SL stop, separate from the commercial airport coach stands.
From inside Terminal 2, use the main Arrivals exit from baggage reclaim on Level 2 to the curb, then orient to the SL-branded stop area immediately outside the Arrivals frontage. The closest exit is the central Arrivals “Exit/Utgång” doors that place you directly at the curb line; from there, look for SL signage and confirm “Stand 1” before boarding route 583 toward Märsta.
What is the exact walking distance (meters) from Terminal 2 baggage reclaim exit to the Arlanda Central / Arlanda Express access point (fastest path)?
Walking is typically about 250 meters from the Terminal 2 baggage reclaim exit to the Arlanda Express access point via Arlanda South (Arlanda Södra), the closest station entrance for Terminal 2. The fastest path stays inside: out of baggage reclaim into the Arrivals hall, then straight to the signed rail access and down by elevator/escalator.
| Segment | Anchor point to anchor point | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Baggage reclaim exit → Arrivals hall main concourse | ~30–60 m |
| 2 | Arrivals concourse → “Train/Arlanda Express” signed entrance toward Arlanda South | ~120–170 m |
| 3 | Station entrance → top of escalator/elevator bank down to platforms | ~40–70 m |
Where is the last clear airside decision point in Terminal 2 where signage directs you to the transfer bus to Terminal 5 (the point you should not walk past if transferring)?
The last clear airside decision point is the signed “Transfer to Terminal 5” split in the main post-security corridor just before you commit deeper into the Terminal 2 gate pier. This is where the wayfinding still clearly offers a level-change route down to the apron-level bus interface rather than sending you onward toward the higher-numbered gate corridors.
After leaving security into the airside transit area (near duty-free/retail), stay alert for the final overhead signs that explicitly mention Terminal 5 transfer and point to stairs/elevators. Once you walk past that split and continue along the pier toward standard departure gates, the transfer-bus path becomes less intuitive and you risk adding backtrack time to reach the down-route to Gate 61C.
Where exactly does the Terminal 2→Terminal 5 airside transfer bus drop off in Terminal 5 (door/gate/zone), relative to the main passenger flow to gates?
The Terminal 2→Terminal 5 airside transfer bus drops off at Transfer Gate T11 for Schengen connections or at Gate F5 for international/mixed pier connections. Both drop-offs place you inside Terminal 5’s secure area, but they feed different gate flows.
| Drop-off point in Terminal 5 | Best for | Relative to main flow |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer Gate T11 | Schengen and domestic-style flows via the Area C/Terminal 5 connector | In the connector corridor, feeding into the central secure concourse |
| Gate F5 (Pier F) | Pier F / onward to non-Schengen flows (and onward toward Pier G/border control) | In Pier F’s central hub area, then forward toward passport control for non-Schengen gates |
