• 1 Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (GOT ^IATA). Sweden's second busiest airport.  

From the Landvetter and Gothenburg City airports, the airport bus to Gothenburg (going directly from the airport building) and then train is preferred.

Tickets for Västtrafik can be bought by credit card onboard, but not for buses in Gothenburg. Pressbyrån (e.g. at Landvetter airport) and some other shops sell tickets (not at City Airport). The airport bus need special tickets which are bought with credit card onboard. Read the Gothenburg entry for more ticket details.

Get around
