How much does the train from Stockholm to Uppsala cost?

Train ticket prices from Stockholm to Uppsala move like flight fares: the earlier you book and the quieter the departure, the less you pay. The class you choose, whether you want a refundable ticket, a seat reservation or a return, and whether children are travelling all change the total. Rather than quote a figure that will be out of date tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to travel and sends it to you on WhatsApp before you decide.

What we do include in the price we send: the ticket itself in the class you chose, the seat reservation where the rail company requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.

Cheapest train ticket from Stockholm to Uppsala: how to pay less

A cheap train ticket from Stockholm to Uppsala is not luck - it is booking the right seat on the right departure. Here is how we find it:

• For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more passengers often unlock a lower rate
• Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
• Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are generally the cheapest
• Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business travellers at higher fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare
• Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them

When you fill out the form, mention if you are flexible. We compare the fares across the day and send the cheapest Stockholm to Uppsala train ticket first, then the alternatives.

Timetable of the Stockholm to Uppsala train

Every 15-30 minutes - that is how often the train from Stockholm to Uppsala runs with SJ, Mälartåg and SL. The fastest services take about 40 minutes; some departures are a little slower where they make extra stops. The first trains of the morning suit a full day in Uppsala; the late-afternoon departures are popular with passengers who want to sleep in their own bed and arrive in the evening.

Our advice for the timetable: choose the departure that fits your day in Uppsala, not the cheapest one blindly - though we tell you both. A train that arrives at Uppsala Central in the early afternoon gives you the evening in Uppsala; a late one lands you after dinner.

Is there a direct train from Stockholm to Uppsala?

There is a direct train from Stockholm to Uppsala operated by SJ, Mälartåg and SL, and it is the one we book unless you ask for something different. One ticket covers the whole journey; you keep your seat from Stockholm Central to Uppsala Central; children and luggage stay in one place. It runs every 15-30 minutes.

Departure: Stockholm Central

Your journey starts at Stockholm Central. Platforms on long-distance routes are announced shortly before departure, so watch the boards; larger stations have separate halls for high-speed and regional trains, and we tell you which one applies to your ticket. The Arlanda Express reaches the Central Station in 18 minutes and suits a city hotel with a cabin bag; Södermalm's hills, Solna, Uppsala or a family with luggage are simpler by car from the terminal.

• Keep the e-ticket on your phone and the ID used for booking together - some operators check both
• Luggage travels with you: racks at the coach ends and above the seats, no weighing, no fees
• Cafés, kiosks and left-luggage are available at Stockholm Central for early arrivals
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your accommodation in Stockholm to the station on request

Arrival: Uppsala Central

You step off at Uppsala Central, right in the city. Public transport and taxis leave from the station forecourt. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet you off the train and take you to the door of your hotel.

Many travellers continue from Uppsala to somewhere else the next day. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Classes and what it is like on board the Stockholm to Uppsala train

What is the train from Stockholm to Uppsala like inside? Modern coaches with reserved seats, tables for two or four, racks for suitcases, sockets and typically Wi-Fi of varying quality. In second class and first class the differences are space and quiet more than anything else. Over about 40 minutes the extra comfort of the higher class is worth it for some passengers and not for others; we tell you the cost of both and let you choose.

• Wi-Fi on many trains on this route - useful for work, not reliable for streaming
• Quiet coaches and family areas on selected services - ask us when booking
• Bicycles, pushchairs and large luggage accepted within the rail company's rules, which we explain
• Pets are allowed on many services with a small ticket - tell us if one is travelling

Children, luggage and groups on the Stockholm to Uppsala train

For groups, we book seats in the same coach and ask about group fares, which usually make the Stockholm to Uppsala train the cheapest way to move several people between the two cities.

Train, plane or bus from Stockholm to Uppsala?

The bus is the budget option, worth it for some passengers, slower for all. We book whichever suits you; on this route the train is our first recommendation.

Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles and choose the cheaper combination for your dates.
