Having arrived on the flight from Delhi the previous evening, I had stayed at the Clarion Hotel Arlanda Airport. This place was inside the terminal building and easy to find. Check-in was hassle-free and the room was comfortable for an overnight stay. The room windows overlooked the interior of the terminal building and there were also views of the apron.
Breakfast was served in the Runway Restaurant on the 2nd floor and included in the price of the room.
For today, I had booked the Flygbussarna airport coach service from Arlanda to Stockholm and back. After reaching the city, I walked to Gamla Stan.
I joined the Free Tour Stockholm City 🔗 at 10:00 AM and the Free Tour Old Town 🔗 at 1:30 PM.
Both the walking tours were nice, and between them, I also got to see the Royal Swedish Army Band.
I reached the Arlanda airport after a nice day in Stockholm for my flight to Helsinki. I hadn’t had time for lunch during the day between my walking tours, so I was hungry and it was also dinner time in India. So, I visited to the SAS Gold Lounge before my flight. The lounge had multiple options for food and drink and also ample seating around; I had a good meal there.
This was my first flight on SAS. Boarding was at a remote gate and the flight was going to be on an ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop plane. Flight time was just over an hour and we flew over the Åland Islands.
There was a quick service and I had some coffee. Soon we were landing in Helsinki.
