Arriving at KTH Campus in Östermalm

Updated 3 min read

KTH's main campus is in Östermalm, but very few new students actually live there — housing is spread across Stockholm, and it's easy to assume your first booking should go to campus when your key pickup and your actual home for the semester are somewhere else entirely.

This guide covers checking your housing contract before you book, and getting the timing right for your key pickup.

Campus and housing are usually different addresses

Your housing contract will have the address you actually need for your first booking, and it's worth having that in hand — not just the general area name — before you book your arrival. If you're not sure whether your key pickup happens at the accommodation itself or at a separate office, check your housing provider's welcome email; it usually spells out both the address and the timing.

Booking the arrival

Enter your flight number when you book — we track it live, so the pickup time follows your actual landing rather than the scheduled one, which matters if your flight is delayed after a long journey. Choose your vehicle category based on how much luggage you're bringing for the semester; the booking form shows how much room is left as you add bags.

First-day luggage versus what comes later

Many new students arrive with two cases and a cabin bag for the term ahead, which fits comfortably within a Standard car's luggage budget — but if you're bringing sports equipment, a bike box, or simply packed heavier than usual for a longer stay abroad, it's worth checking the categories before you book rather than assuming Standard will stretch to fit everything.

If in doubt, note what you're bringing in the booking comments — we'd rather confirm the right category before you land than have your first experience of the trip be discovering the boot won't close.

Questions people ask before booking

Should I book my Arlanda arrival to KTH campus or my accommodation?

Almost always your accommodation — check your housing contract for the exact address, since very few students actually live at the Östermalm campus itself.

What if my key pickup is at a separate office, not my accommodation?

Check your housing provider's welcome email for the exact address and timing, and book your arrival to wherever you need to be first.

What if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight live and the pickup time follows your actual landing, not the original schedule.

How much luggage can I bring as a new student?

Choose a vehicle category based on your bag count when you book — the form shows how much room is left as you add luggage, so you can pick a category that fits before you pay.

How do I recognise my driver on arrival?

You receive the driver's name, phone number and licence plate before pickup.

Can I book before I know my final housing address?

It's best to wait until you have the exact address confirmed, since that's what the driver navigates to — book once your housing contract or booking confirmation gives you the precise street and number.

What if I need to go straight to campus rather than housing first?

Book your arrival to campus directly if that's genuinely your first stop, though most students find it more practical to head to accommodation first and drop luggage before anything else.

Do I need to know my precise flight arrival time before I book?

No — enter the flight number when you know it, even weeks ahead, and we track it live so your pickup adjusts automatically to the actual landing time regardless of any changes before then.
