Bus 583 via MarstaorSilja Line ferry to Helsinki, by SL train, metro and bus 76?

The short answer

The Bus 583 via Marsta is quicker: 1 h 01 against 18 h 56.

This is the whole point of the page: SEK 43 against SEK 200 for the same journey with the same operator, because it starts at a bus stop rather than a ticket gate.

It takes 61 minutes against the direct train's 38, and it needs one change at Marsta. That is what the 157 kronor buys.

Bus 583 runs from Terminals 2 and 3 as well as Sky City, roughly every 15 minutes.

SL tickets are not valid on Arlanda Express, on SJ trains through Arlanda, or on Flygbussarna.

Tallink says to arrive an hour before. Registration closes 30 minutes before departure and boarding 20 minutes before; late arrivals need a new ticket.

SEK 157 of the SL ticket is the Arlanda passage fee, charged once at the station gates; the single on top of it covers the metro and the bus. Under-18s pay no fee.
