How to get here

Detailed instructions on how to get to Sweden and Herräng

How to get to Sweden

Sweden is a fairly well-connected country, and it shouldn’t be too difficult to reach the magical land that hosts Herräng Dance Camp. Its landscapes and cities boast astounding beauty, and the welcoming nature of its folks will make you feel at home. There are more traditional ways of getting here, such as by plane and train, but we know of some people who have even biked to Herräng. It’s all up to how adventurous you are feeling!
‍

By plane

We understand that trains are not a viable transportation to many, either due to distance or other reasons. Don’t worry, the Stockholm area is packed with airports – Arlanda, Bromma, Skavsta, and Västerås. We highly recommend flying to Arlanda airport, as it is the closest to Herräng and thus the best-connected via public transportation. Note that our official shuttle buses only operate from Arlanda airport. Bromma is located one hour further away from Herräng than Arlanda by car, even more by public transportation. Some flights might be cheaper, but the adventure to get to our coastal village will be greater from Bromma airport. Barely any participants use Skavsta or to Västerås airports since they are quite further away. However, if you find a flight that suits you, please check public transportation all the way to Herräng before booking it; getting stuck in the middle of nowhere and having to pay for a taxi might not be very budget-friendly.

By car

Planning a road trip and topping it with a week in Herräng Dance Camp can be a fantastic way to spend your holidays! Pack as many bags as you want, explore the surroundings, and come at your own pace. You could also share your ride with other dancers on your way to Herräng.
Please park responsibly to avoid obstructing traffic in any part of the village, both upon arrival and throughout your stay. Drive cautiously and adhere to the speed limit to show respect for the local community. Ask at the reception, and they’ll be more than happy to show you different suitable parking spots on the map. Pop this address into your GPS, and you will be in Herräng before you know it:
Folketshusvägen 5, 763 71 Herräng, Norrtälje kommun (60.128196, 18.646482).

By train

Most Swedes who come to camp use train services. However, not only them—increasing numbers of people from Germany and other neighbouring countries opt for the railway due to its environmentally friendly nature and not very long hours. Stockholm Central Station is the best-connected one, but the Uppsala Central Station also offers good options depending on where you are travelling from.

By bus

Flixbus and other companies also offer bus rides from all over Europe to Stockholm. Get yourself a good playlist and enjoy the long hours to build the excitement for when you arrive at camp!

How to get to Herräng

Getting to Herräng can be an adventure in itself. Herräng is located on the coast, approximately 100 kilometres north of Stockholm, and there are several ways to travel. Keep reading to get some tips to make your trip as smooth as possible. Most prices mentioned here are indicative; please contact the companies to get the exact prices.

• From Arlanda to Herräng
  ‍Arlanda has the best connections to Herräng. The shuttle bus service organised by Herräng Dance Camp operates to and from here three times on Saturdays – this is the easiest way to reach Herräng. These buses take approximately 90 minutes one way and cost 550 SEK. Of course you could book a taxi, Uber or Bolt and follow your own schedule; it would take a similar amount of time but it would cost between 1000-2500 SEK. Many people choose to take public transportation since it is the budget-friendliest option, between 40-300 SEK. It will take approximately three hours and involve a couple of connections, but it can be adventurous traveling alone or as a group.
• From Stockholm Central Station to Herräng
  ‍If you arrive at Stockholm Central Station, there are three ways to get to Herräng. You could choose to take the airport coaches called Flygbussarna or the train to Arlanda airport, and check out all the options that we have collected in the previous paragraph. Alternatively, you could opt for public transportation (about 80 SEK) or a taxi (about 3000 SEK), Uber or Bolt (about 1300 SEK) directly from Stockholm Central Station to Herräng .
• From Bromma, Skavsta and Västerås airports to Herräng
  ‍These airports are located quite far from Herräng. There are two ways to travel from here. You can either take a taxi (3400-5000 SEK) or public transportation, or you can take the airport coaches called Flygbussarna to Stockholm Central Station and continue from there, as recommended in the previous paragraph.

Book our shuttle service

Get a ride from the airport

The Herräng Dance Camp shuttles are the buses we organise to take people from Arlanda to Herräng and back. This is a smooth way to travel compared to public transportation and quite more affordable than taking a taxi. They only operate on Saturdays, so if you arrive on Friday or Sunday, unfortunately, you will have to rely on other means of transportation.

The schedules for Saturdays are as follows

Booking

Please book your seat for both arrival and departure at My Herräng under the Airport Shuttle tab. Each participant will have to book their own shuttle through their own profile:

• When booking your arrival, check that you have chosen a shuttle that gives you enough time between landing and shuttle departure. You need to show up at the meeting point no later than 15 minutes before the shuttle leaves. They will not wait for anybody, regardless of having a booking – we only use one bus all day long for all shuttles, which means that if one shuttle is delayed, the entire day will be delayed. We will not be responsible for delayed flights or other delays (e.g., lost luggage). If for any reason you miss your shuttle, you might be able to join the next one, but only if there are available seats after everyone with the corresponding booking has checked in
• When booking your departure shuttle, check that you have chosen a shuttle that allows enough time to catch your flight. Expect the journey from Herräng to Arlanda to take around 90 minutes, and the airport check-in procedure to take anywhere from 40 minutes up to two hours.

How to pay

Please keep in mind that your booking will not be fully processed until we have received the payment for it. A two hour time slot is available to pay for your booking. After the two hours, any unpaid booking will be automatically cancelled, and the seats will be open for any other participants to book. You can easily pay for your booking with your card in the same way you paid for the rest of your courses. Here are the steps you need to follow:
‍

• Log into your "My Herräng" account.
• On the top black line, you can read "Payments". Click on it.
  
• You will see the "Airport pickup" item is still unpaid. On the lower-right side of the table, you can find a button that says "Pay By Credit Card Now". Click on it and follow the instructions.
