Express outdoor P45

8-minute walk from Terminals 2, 3 and 5

Express outdoor P45 sits about an 8-minute walk from Terminals 2, 3 and 5 at Stockholm Arlanda, so you’re on foot the whole way and off the shuttle timetable. It’s fully outdoors, so think Scandinavian weather: snow, rain, and ice all hit these rows directly.

This is a standard long-stay surface lot with marked spaces rather than a multi-storey. You park your own car, keep your keys, and walk the roughly 600–700 meters to the terminal area, which usually clocks in at those 8 minutes if you’re rolling one cabin bag. With checked luggage or kids, budget closer to 10–12 minutes.

Signage on airport roads points to P45 along the same route as other Express lots, so follow the blue “P” signs once you’re within a few kilometers of ARN. Because it serves Terminals 2, 3 and 5, it works for both Schengen and non‑Schengen flights; Terminal 4 users generally go for other car parks closer to T4.

Payment runs through Arlanda’s central system, either via license plate recognition or pay stations near the walkways. Pre-booking online usually locks in a lower daily rate than just driving up, especially in peak summer and Christmas weeks when P45 can fill. Stay lengths commonly range from a single overnight to full week‑long trips.

Lighting covers the lot, but it’s still an open outdoor area a few hundred meters from the terminals, so don’t leave gear visible on the seats. In winter, allow extra minutes to scrape windows and walk carefully if temperatures drop below 0°C; paths can be slick early in the morning.

Tip: Add 15 extra minutes to your normal airport routine for the 8-minute walk plus ticket or app checks, and you’ll hit check‑in in Terminals 2, 3 or 5 without rushing.
