Getting here
Arrival by air
There are two airports in Gothenburg. Landvetter Airport has daily flights to and from most major European cities. There is a convenient airport bus service that connects Landvetter to the Central Station in Gothenburg. Buses run 2-4 times an hour and the trip costs SEK 80. Gothenburg City Airport (named Säve in Swedish) also has an airport bus service which runs in connection to the arrival of each flight. The bus takes you to the Central Station in Gothenburg and the price is 60 SEK.
Arrival by train or bus
Trains and buses run regularly to Trollhättan from Gothenburg. The trip to the town is approximately 50 minutes by train. Buses complete the trip in approximately 90 minutes. The central bus station in Gothenburg (Nils Ericson Terminal) is located next to the train station (Central Station). Gothenburg also has intercity rail links with Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo.
Transportation service
If you wish to be picked up on the arrival day you must make sure that the International Office has been informed on the details of your arrival well in advance by completing and sending in the Arrival Form no later than three weeks prior to your arrival. Please note that there will be transportation service only on direct request from you and that the last transportation service available is at 6 pm on set arrival day.
Arrival outside office hours
Students arriving later than 6 pm to the airports or the central station in Gothenburg on the arrival day, will have to arrange for their own transportation to Trollhättan. We will meet you at the train station in Trollhättan if you arrive no later than 9 pm. Should you arrive later, you have to arrange for overnight stay at the hostel or a hotel in Trollhättan, and we will take you to your accommodation the next day.

Arrival on other dates than the arrival day
We will arrange for someone to pick you up at the train station in Trollhättan. If you plan to arrive during the weekend, we cannot guarantee this arrangement and in that case you might have to stay at the hostel or a hotel until the next workday. (See the link above.)
