Gothenburg Landvetter Airport Transfer (GOT)

Gothenburg Landvetter Airport (GOT) is Sweden's second-largest, handling over 7 million passengers a year on routes across Europe, the Middle East and North America. A single terminal takes all arrivals. Flygbussarna airport coaches leave for Gothenburg Central Station every 15 to 30 minutes, and metered taxis and Uber wait in the marked areas outside. A LocalsRide driver meets you inside the hall for a direct run to the city's hotels, the cruise terminals, or Liseberg, Sweden's most popular amusement park and a major events venue.

GOT Transfer Times

Distances and times from the airport vary by district. Gothenburg Central Station is 25 km and 28 to 40 minutes; Haga and Linnéstaden 24 km and 27 to 38 minutes; Liseberg and Universeum 26 km and 30 to 42 minutes; the Stenpiren and Frihamnen cruise terminals 23 km and 25 to 38 minutes; Mölndal, for the Volvo museum, 22 km and 25 to 35 minutes; and Kungsbacka 40 km and 40 to 55 minutes.

Arriving at Landvetter

Landvetter lies about 25 km east of the city along the motorway into central Gothenburg. The single terminal keeps walking distances short, with ground transport right outside arrivals. Gothenburg itself is a compact harbour city: the wooden houses and cafés of the Haga district, the Liseberg park, the archipelago ferries, and a working port that makes it a regular call for Baltic and Norwegian-fjord cruises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get from Gothenburg Airport directly to a cruise ship terminal?

Yes. Private transfers run from GOT to Stenpiren, the main passenger terminal (23 km, 25 to 38 minutes), and Frihamnen, the cruise and ferry terminal (24 km, 27 to 40 minutes). Gothenburg is a regular port of call for Baltic and Norwegian-fjord cruises, and a car straight from the airport to the terminal saves crossing the city with luggage between modes.

Is there a train from Gothenburg Landvetter Airport to the city?

No. There is no direct rail link from Landvetter. The Flygbussarna coach (149 SEK, about 30 minutes to Central Station) is the standard public option. A rail link has been discussed for decades but never built, so a private car or the airport coach are the two practical choices.
