Besides the normal bus, there is another bus option which 1/3 of the price normal price and is the cheapest way to get to the airport or from it. We give you all the schedules, where to catch it and links to book it. It is as easy as the regular option!
Like all big airports in Sweden (Stockholm, Malmö, etc…), Gothenburg’s airport (Landvetter) is also served by flygbussarna airport coach.
And truthfully, flygbussarna is s a very practical way to get to and from the Gothenburg’s airport with their very comfortable buses (bathroom, internet, etc…) and lots of trips throughout the day.
But it’s a bit expensive. Just one way costs 95 sek, or around 11.35 USD.
So, if you want to save money, your best option is FlixBus! With them, you can go from Gothenburg’s city center to the airport from 29 sek to 49 sek each way, or about 3.46 dollars to 5 USD. It’s just 1/3 to 1/2 of Flygbussarna’s price!
If you’ve read our article about The Cheapest Way to Travel and Get Around Europe, you’ve already heard of FlixBus.
www.flixbus.com
FlixBus is the biggest bus transportation company in Europe and has the largest interurban bus network on the continent. Altogether, they have more than 1,200 destinations in 22 countries.
Beyond city-to-city connections, sometimes FlixBus also has connections from cities to their nearest airport. They do that because they know some travelers are going from the airport to further away destinations served by FlixBus.
And because of this deal, you can travel from the center of Gothenburg to its closest airport (and vice versa), Landvetter.
I would say the only downfall of FlixBus is that they only have 3 trips (they increased it to 20 trips!!) in each direction per day. So, you’ll have to see if your flight’s departure or arrival time works with FlixBus’s schedule.

Where to get the Gothenburg Airport bus in the city center
The airport bus arrives and leaves right from the heart of the center, just next to the main train station.
Here is the exact address where the bus arrives and departs:
Nils Ericsonsplatsen – 411 03 – Gothenburg – Sweden (Göteborg C, the same as the Central Station)
I am putting a map below (but it also sometimes departs from Korsvägen).
And of course, it arrives and leaves right from the airport entrance, which is the same for arrivals and departures.
I’ve used FlixBus in a few places around Europe (Gothenburg included) and I’d definitely recommend it as one of the cheapest transportation options.
So, even if you are traveling outside of Sweden, it’s worth taking a look. Here are some of the direct bus destinations in Europe that you can go using FlixBus.
Hostel / Hotel Tip in Gothenburg!
If you’re going to Gothenburg and want to save money, I’d recommend staying at the Backpackers Göteborg. I stayed there for a while and enjoyed it very much. It has a great location with shared and private rooms for one of the best prices in town. In addition, almost every day it has some type of activity scheduled (tours, bars, movie, etc …). Very cool.
Activities to do in Gothenburg!
To make your life easier here in Gothenburg, a great friend of mine wrote an article with 7.5 Things to Do for Free in Gothenburg. It’s great and gives you awesome activities. All of them you can do completely for FREE!!
I would also recommend taking a look at the Gothenburg Pass. When you buy this pass, you get access to a bunch of tours, tickets, and attractions for free or heavily discounted in Gothenburg.
