Airports
Stockholm has four airports: Arlanda (ARN), Bromma (BMA), Skavsta (NYO) and Västerås (VST).
The main airport is Arlanda with most international flights and best shuttle services; Bromma is closest to the city but has only a few international destinations (one is Brussels). Västerås and Skavsta are the two other international airports, both located about 100 km from Stockholm and mainly cater low-budget airlines. Travel time from Västerås and Skavsta is about 1,5 to 2 hours.
