Arlanda to Solna: Arenas, Karolinska and Arenastaden Hotels
Updated 3 min read
Solna packs a lot into one municipality: the national arena and stadium district, the Karolinska hospital and research campus, and the hotels and offices of Arenastaden, all within a few kilometres of each other. That mix means an address in Solna can mean very different things depending on why you're there, and on event days some of these zones become genuinely hard to navigate by road.
This guide covers the three most common reasons readers land here and how to make sure the driver goes to the right entrance for each.
On this page
Arena and stadium district on event days
On a concert or match day, roads around the arena district can be closed to general traffic well before the event, with access limited to specific approach roads. If you're arriving for an event, check the venue's own arrival guidance for which entrance and approach to use, and pass along anything you know in the booking notes — the driver will work with whatever access is available on the day.
Karolinska hospital and research campus
Karolinska Solna is a large campus with multiple buildings and entrances, and 'Karolinska' alone isn't a specific enough address for a driver to know exactly where to stop. If you're visiting for treatment, research or a meeting, use the exact building name or entrance from your appointment letter or invitation — the campus's own signage and staff can also direct you once you're on site.
Arenastaden hotels and offices
Arenastaden's hotels are generally straightforward, with clear kerbside access for cars. The detail worth getting right is which hotel, since more than one shares the district and a similar-sounding name isn't a reliable way to tell them apart — enter the exact hotel name and address at booking.
What to expect regardless of destination
Wherever in Solna you're heading, the flight is tracked so the pickup follows your actual landing time, and the driver's name, phone number and licence plate are sent before pickup. The fixed price shown before you book doesn't change if the route on the day has to work around an event closure — that's the driver's problem to navigate, not yours to pay for.
The booking itself works the same regardless of which of Solna's districts you're heading to — one fixed price for the whole car, agreed before you pay, with no terminal fee and no surprise addition once you're actually on the road, event traffic or otherwise.

- Flight tracked — pickup follows your live arrival
- 45 minutes free waiting, from your driver's confirmed arrival

Questions people ask before booking
Will road closures on an event day affect my transfer?
They may affect the exact route, but the driver adjusts to whatever access is available, and the fixed price shown before booking doesn't change because of it.
How do I make sure the driver goes to the right building at Karolinska?
Give the exact building name or entrance from your appointment letter — 'Karolinska' alone covers a large campus with several entrances.
There's more than one hotel in Arenastaden — how do I avoid a mix-up?
Enter the exact hotel name and address at booking rather than relying on the district name alone.
What if my flight lands right before a big event at the arena?
The flight is tracked and the pickup follows your actual landing time; it's still worth checking the venue's own arrival guidance for road access on event days.
How will I know who's picking me up?
The driver's name, phone number and licence plate are sent before pickup, so you know who to look for once you're through arrivals.
