Arriving at a new airport can be a little stressful, especially when you need to get to the city. From Gothenburg Landvetter Airport (GOT) there are several convenient ways to get to downtown Gothenburg and hotels – from traditional taxis to shared transfers and public transport. The choice depends on your budget, amount of luggage and desired level of comfort.
Official taxi stands are usually located directly near the exit from the terminal. Drivers are generally polite and professional. Make sure the taxi driver has turned on the meter, or agree on an approximate fare in advance to avoid misunderstandings. The journey time to the city center is usually 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. The cost of a taxi ride can range from 25 to 40 euros.
A private transfer is a convenient option, especially if you are traveling with a large group or with a lot of luggage. Usually, the driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a sign with your name. It is important to confirm the meeting point and flight number in advance. The price is fixed at the time of booking, which gives you peace of mind. The cost of a private transfer may be higher than a taxi, but provides more comfort and personalized service. Expect a price in the range of 40-60 euros.
Shared transfers are a more economical option, but they can take longer as the driver waits for enough passengers to fill the minibus. This is a good choice if you are not in a hurry and want to save money. They usually offer transfers to hotels in the city center. The cost of a shared transfer is usually 20-30 euros.
From Gothenburg Landvetter Airport you can get to the city by train or bus. The train is the fastest option, but it can be more expensive than the bus.
