Göteborg Landvetter Airport is outside central Gothenburg, but several bus services connect the terminal with the city and nearby transport hubs. The simplest choice is usually a direct airport coach; the cheapest choice depends on your destination, ticket and connection.
This guide is deliberately evergreen. Airlines and routes change, so check current flight information separately and use the official ground-transport pages for your travel date.
Direct airport coach to Gothenburg
Swedavia lists Vy Flygbussarna between Landvetter Airport, Korsvägen and Gothenburg Central at Nils Ericson Terminal. The stated airport-to-city journey time is about 20 minutes. Buy online or in the operator’s app because onboard purchase is not always available.
Local bus 612
Västtrafik route 612 links the airport with Landvetter travel centre rather than central Gothenburg. Swedavia gives a journey time of about 14 minutes for that section, with frequent peak-time departures. It can be useful for a local connection, but compare the full journey before choosing it instead of a direct coach.
Other coaches and late arrivals
Swedavia also lists Vy Bus4You and FlixBus services. Operators, stops and times can change, so use the airport’s digital signs and the operator’s live timetable. For a late flight, confirm your hostel’s reception hours and self-check-in instructions before boarding.
Best hostel locations after the airport bus
Staying near Central Station is convenient for Nils Ericson Terminal. Korsvägen suits Scandinavium and the main event district. Linné and Majorna may offer better value if you are comfortable using trams. Compare hostels in Gothenburg, read our Gothenburg city guide and see the broader Swedish airport hostel guide.
