Welcome Programme for Uppsala, autumn 2024
Arrival Days at Stockholm Arlanda Airport
The Arrival Days for autumn semester 2024 are Wednesday 21 August and Thursday 22 August 2024. During these days, we will have an Arrival Desk at Arlanda Airport from 09:00 to 20:00. We will also offer a free shuttle service from Arlanda Airport to the Welcome Centre in Uppsala during these hours.
The Arrival Desk is located outside the customs service in Terminal 5. If you arrive at any other terminal, you will need to go to Terminal 5 to meet us and take the shuttle service.
If your arrival is delayed
We are not able to extend the opening hours of the Arrival Desk and Welcome Centre. Should your arrival be delayed, you will need to make necessary arrangements for your transportation and accommodation on your own.
It is pretty easy to travel from Arlanda Airport to Uppsala on your own.
