lift to bus stop

The bus stop is 500 m away so you don’t really need a lift unless you’ve got lots of stuff to carry.

Here’s a message of support for Ska Edeby. True it’s a bit of an exercise getting to Stockholm – lift to bus stop, bus to Brommaplan, train to central Stockholm but all in under an hour. I have spent more time, and vastly more money, in a taxi to Bromma airport back in the days when we were able to use it. There is Uber in the area but I didn’t need to test it. You will need cash for the fuel. Oh and it’s most wonderful setting for a lovely airfield.

Use Uber/Lyft if available. It’s the same taxi drivers but at lower prices. If getting into a taxi from the road, request a quote to your destination.

Also, visit ESME. We might not have the best views or the best city, but there is a self-service fuel pump, tarmac, lights, and no landing/parking fee!

Also be aware that there is no regulation of taxi fares in Sweden. With major taxi companies this will not be a problem but with smaller or one-man companies, you run a substantial risk of being ripped off.

Backamo is very nice and friendly but it would be a pain in the ass to get into Gothenburg from there. Säve is probably the best but Borås(ESGE) would be a good option as well where you should be able to go by bus to Borås and then continue to Gothenburg. Borås is a very friendly GA airport.

Skå-Edeby is the best option for a couple of days in Stockholm. They have fuel but you must arrange for someone to help you with it. Italso good to talk to them if you want to arrive/depart very early or late since the access gate might be closed. Usually not a problem though.

You can go by bus from close to the field but with the money you save from not landing at Bromma you can get a taxi. Should be around 50-60 euros to get to central town. Be aware that the taxi driver will not have a clue where the airfield is.

How is Ska-Edeby ESSE? looks good fro a day or two in Stockholm. Better than Bromma from SkyDemon reviews?

ESSE is your typical VFR GA grass airfield a bit outside the city, while ESSB is a full service commercial city airport where the management is not really happy with GA – although they’re said to be better than they were a few years ago.

Hi All

Thanks for your excellent suggestions.

So far we need to be in Copenhagen for the 19th so will arrive at Roskilde on the 18th and leave 20th.
Sat 20th probably going to Gothenberg Save or Trollhatten, or Backamo maybe. Save sounds interesting for the air museum there.

After that Hoganas is somewhere I’ve nearly been before but the weather was poor. We went to Roskilde then too!

Anywhere else

First post from me here as well.

Lots of nice places to visit in Denmark and Sweden.

In terms of air museums there is Flygvapenmuseum in Linköping. It’s located at Malmen which does not allow for civilian traffic unfortunately. The aero club in Linköping is located at Saab/Linköping City airport on the other side of the city. The airport is closed until August 19 though so keep that in mind. PPR obtained the aero clubs website. Quite a few fellow RVs at the airport.

There is also Aeroseum at Säve in Gothenburg, F15 air museum in Söderhamn, F10 air museum in Ängelholm, and Västerås flygmuseum to name a few that I can think of.

I’ll also second Arnes recommendations. You should visit Höganäs if you’re in area for the weekly Flygfisk. Accommodation is available in the club house and there is no landing fee.

From EKRK you can take the bus to Roskilde

I was told that bus goes from the other side of the airport. How do you get to it? A taxi to Roskilde is £30 – £40!

Otherwise, most excellent GA airport.

For Copenhagen plan for EKRK and not EKCH (expensive).

From EKRK you can take the bus to Roskilde that also has a Viking ship museum. From Roskilde you can take the train to Copenhagen.

While you are in the Danish and Swedish areas I can recommend visiting Bornholm (Island south from Sweden). The airport is EKRN and is GA friendly.

Then of course the “Best restaurant in the world”, Geranium, is also in Copenhagen. But you probably have to book well ahead.

Then there is the Danish Museum of Science and Technology that has some airplanes in the exhibition. It is located in the same city as the famous Kronborg castle from Hamlet.
